Here's my take on this: He's saying, "It's un-American to hold people indefinitely without a trial." Okay, here's where he's right: American citizens cannot be held indefinitely without trial. Here's where he's wrong: These guys *aren't* American citizens!
I'd love to see these pointy-headed politicians start wringing their hands over how some of their favorite "allies" handle criminals. Like the guy in Saudi Arabia who is going to be beheaded and crucified for child molestation (and no, I don't think there's anything wrong with that punishment either). Let's see how they handle people getting picked up on the street in Iran, supposedly for theft, and being left in a prison for decades with no trial.
'Course they probably wish they could take the Iraqi method of dealing with political opponents but won't say it out loud.
