Or so our favorite lefties here should be thinking.

"WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration said Tuesday it could continue
to imprison non-U.S. citizens indefinitely even if they have been
acquitted of terrorism charges by a U.S. military commission.

Jeh Johnson, the Defense Department's chief lawyer, told the Senate
Armed Services Committee that releasing a detainee who has been tried
and found not guilty was a policy decision that officials would make
based on their estimate of whether the prisoner posed a future threat.

Like the Bush administration, the Obama administration argues that the
legal basis for indefinite detention of aliens it considers dangerous
is separate from war-crimes prosecutions."

Oh - oh - I hear leftie heads exploding in the great states of
Maryland and Washington.

A sweet sound to be sure.
