Actually, I was open minded here. I did some reading.

It appears that a Grand Jury is investigating a criminal
matter to which Mike Hawash may have some information
to add to, as a material witness. This does not say that
he is involved, or is criminally liable for anything.

At the least, his testimony should be taken, and he
should be released afterwards, if it is not contradictory
to established facts.

This person is a U.S. Citizen. I don't really care where
he was born, or who his wife is, or how blonde she is.
Or that he works for Intel, or the local Grocery.

This makes me squirm the same way Reno's debacle at
Waco did.

I agree; the problem I have is the held incommunicado, and the length of time involved. Can anyone here consider it would be alright to get locked away for two or more weeks? Those that would say it's OK must not have much of a life, or any responsibilities.

Once arrested, you must be charged. Those charges should be public, else we are just as much a dictatorship as Iraq. War may restrict some freedoms and rights; it does not negate them nor should it allow for unlimited holding of citizens without charges or arrest.

Me too. If he's guilty of something, indict and try him.

If not, release him. (And keep a damn close eye on him for several months at least.)

This locking people up without charge shit is scary, and I don't care who is doing it.
