Controversial. If they feel that indefinite detention is fine then I'm not that bothered, as long as they don't abuse it... but torture? That would be too far.

Idefinite detention without trial is a signature feature of an unlawful dictatorship. As is torture. These are no-gos in a state under the rule of law.

The people around the world continue to get the gov they deserve. A nation of sheep shouldn't be surprised when they become the dinner of wolves.

I'm not sure if you're from America or not, but our Constitution says that all citizens have the right to a fair and speedy trial. This is clearly unconstitutional and grossly immoral.

In fact I phrased that wrong - indefinite detention is bad - what I'm not particularly bothered with is them putting people in holding for like a day but detaining them properly without trial is wrong.

Hutchison has been in Texas govt for way too damn long. People here are nuts.

Obama said he'll veto it ... hopefully he sticks to his word.
