Detainees, Even if Acquitted, Might Not Go Free

The Obama administration said Tuesday it could continue to imprison non-U.S. citizens indefinitely even if they have been acquitted of terrorism charges by a U.S. military commission.

So, tell me, how is this better than Bush? Where's the Change?

Officials say that the laws of war allow indefinite detention to prevent aliens from committing warlike acts in future

And when you have an indefinite "war", then you can logically imprison almost anyone for as long as you want. I'm curious who here is going to rabidly defend this position.
