Exactly. Also, if Andak's point is that only 1 SUCCESSFUL terrorist attack out of 500 (if the definition of terrorist attack is good in the study to begin with), is s a sign that all Muslims are nicey, nicey, his own source betrays him, as usual.

How does that work? I'd rather live with 500:1 odds or even less if it didn't mean living in an upside down society cowered and bullied.

I'd say the authorities are doing a good job at preventing Islamic terrorism, so 1/2 of all arrests are in a community that makes up what 3-5% of all of Europe? The result is one SUCESSFUL attack, and a dispropotionate number of arrests of Muslims given their population base.
I'd say no. All of the US cases and there have been precious few have more or less fallen apart and resulted in B.S. convictions. The very fact that it took years to get a conviction on Padilla today means that the system they erected to handle this is not functioning. The idea that they have a bunch of people locked up in Cuba with no clear way to expedite anything means that they're making it up as they go along. It's one thing to convict someone wrongly and 20 years later they're exonerated and freed, but we'll be talking about these guys for 20 years and it will turn out that some of them are not only innocent but that they were never even charged. I'm not so sure you want to cheer about that.

You know in jurisprudence if there's no law to prosecute someone you have to let them go, even if you think they're guilty. That's the way our system works. So instead of talking about the justification for holding someone outside of the law the US DoJ should have been working to erect new laws that actually work and allow them to prosecute people. The claim that they are hamstrung by their own secrecy is lame.
