It's nice that you and Mike know for a fact
that these folks were picked up
without probable cause...
I'm seriously overstepping my bounds here, but I can't keep my foot
out of my mouth no matter how hard I try.
The problem is that 'probable cause' has been very much abused of
late. Take Jose Padilla for example. He was 'detained' without
charge based on the accusation that he was building a radioactive
dirty bomb. The charges actually filed against him after 3 years?
Filling out a form to go to a suspected al Qaeda training camp.
How does the government go from dirty bomb to 'filled out a form' and
still call the original arrest 'probable cause?' There are so many of
these cases that it's quite tragic what has happened to the American
sense of justice.
