Give me a plausible end condition and I'll consider this. Until then, it's just the 1984 eternal war, and an excuse to strip our rights and liberties.

This guy is an American citizen, arrested on American soil, and not a member of the military. There is no excuse for not giving him an American civilian trial.

(But so far, all I've heard is he's being held in Navy facilities, not that he'll be denied a proper trial)
