re:snoopy

Weigh the evil of holding them against the evil of releasing. If there's a substantial likelihood that the person will kill himself and a dozen other people if released, then yeah, it is morally acceptable.

That doesn't make the policy acceptable, however, when you consider the overall implications... specifically that it suggests we may hold someone solely based on what they might potentially do without any evidence they (personally) will.
