upholding the rule of law, supporting the constitution, closing guantanamo, banning torture, water boarding all good . . . however many agree that preventative detention is outside the law regardless of oversight.

It makes sense that there is a type of detainee that can’t be prosecuted but still poses a threat to america. Can’t this be done w/in the confines of the Constitution?

This will be a big debate and a lighting rod for those who oppose the president: strict constitutionalists and opposing partisans.
