And since the War on Terror is never-ending, they will be locked up forever. Without charge. And without any way of determining if they played any part in a terrorist organization.

Don't you love it when your country looks like a hypocrite?

Let's see.

1) A particular war - the Terror War, for example - like all wars, will take an indeterminate amount of time. Conceivably, it will go on for a long time.

2) As in most wars, one side or the other or both takes prisoners.

3) Therefore, we must release said prisoners to resume their part of the war effort, because increasing the enemy's strength in this way will make the war last longer, which is good because it is said to be "never-ending", and the prophecy must be fulfilled.

Pardon - I seem to have gotten lost in the middle of this Moebius strip of logic.
