Indefinite detention goes against our fundamental American beliefs. It is shameful that we are continuing to do this even if the threat from these detainees is real.
Our founding fathers supported freedom and liberty - enshrining those values in our Bill of Rights - despite the risk involved in giving people "too much" freedom. As a country I thought we abandoned the Bush era perspective where national security trumped civil liberties?
I'm sure there will be more court battles and Supreme Court decisions, most certainly placing limitations on Obama. Time will tell.
