Indefinite detention of terrorists and their supporters was and remains a most appropriate response to the killing of thousands of Americans.
1. Prove everyone being detained is a "terrorist or supporter" without doing it in secret, without torturing them, and after establishing it beyond a reasonable doubt, and you and I might have a point of agreement. Absent that I'd say put down the Jack Daniels hillbilly and step outta the 4x4 with the Yosemite Sam mudflaps and naked lady trailer hitch cover.
2. Torture is never defensible.
3. What exactly is the moral/justifiable ratio of "revenge killings" that would suffice to satiate your bloodlust?
4. Do you think it's "justice" to invade countries, necessarily causing the deaths of 10-100,000 of "known innocents".
