the government can say, "We don't care..."?

Guantanamo Bay detainees who are acquitted by civil or military courts may still be imprisoned indefinitely if the government determines that they pose a national security threat, the Defense Department's chief lawyer said yesterday.

"The question of what happens if there's an acquittal is an interesting question -- we talk about that often within the administration," Pentagon general counsel Jeh Johnson said at a Senate hearing.

"If, for some reason, he's not convicted for a lengthy prison sentence, then, as a matter of legal authority, I think it's our view that we would have the ability to detain that person," he said.

it's guantanamo bay, you only go there if you're a considered total psycho. to me it makes sense.

it doesnt mean for minor offences, or something like rape; guantanamo bay is for the terrorists and plotters.

Your reply doesn't make sense. If a person is found not guilty of any crime, he should be released according to LAW.

Guantanamo Bay is just a pretty messy situation altogether. The prisoners deserve constitutional rights, imo.

This is the kinda shit that prevents me from being proud of the fact that I'm American. Our government is an embarrassment.

Even the Daily Kos doesn't seem to support this blatant disregard of the law.
Acquitted and indefinitely detained on the executive's say-so. That doesn't really sound like the kind of American justice we learned about in civics class, unless that class was taught by John Yoo.

Yeah, I suppose championing the idea that they should have trials and then ignoring the decision of the court is really what's best.
