I can understand putting prisoners of war into a secure facility restricting their freedom of movement but onyl until they can be released safely home. And if we're talking about suspected terrorists well they deserve a fair trial just like anyone else and the same rights extended to other suspected criminals-and they should remain innocent until proven guilty.
