My god this is disturbing :  "WASHINGTON  - The Bush administration is preparing plans for possible lifetime detention of suspected terrorists, including hundreds whom the government does not have enough evidence to charge in courts, The Washington Post reported Sunday."  "Citing intelligence, defense and diplomatic officials, the newspaper said the Pentagon (news - web sites) and the CIA (news - web sites) had asked the White House to decide on a more permanent approach for those it would not set free or turn over to courts at home or abroad."  ... so all you have to do is be a "suspected" terrorist now and you can spend the rest of your life in prison.
