I refuse to wring my hands for terrorists and their supporters knowing what these people are capable of, and I'm frankly shocked that Obama couldn't have kept his flapping gob shut on this one. No one in custody is totally innocent, they will be guilty at least by association. The security services don't arrest people and detain them for fun, they want to get to the root of the problem. If you want to make an omelette you have to break some eggs. If you want to live in safety and freedom, you have to take out the terrorist by any means necessary.
