Is Obama's 'Prolonged Detention' American? | Nat Hentoff | Cato Institute: Commentary

Is Obama's 'Prolonged Detention' American? | Nat Hentoff | Cato Institute: Commentary: "Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall once warned: 'Throughout the world today there are men, women and children interned indefinitely, awaiting trials which may never come or which may be a mockery of the word, because their governments believe them to be 'dangerous.' Our Constitution ... can shelter us forever against the dangers of such unchecked power' (dissenting, U.S. v. Salerno, 1987)."
