This Is Why Everyone Gets Rights

"The shabby treatment of this innocent man is a chilling reminder of why we all need the protection of the courts."

This is why it is wrong for the government to throw people in jail and never charge them with a crime and never give them a day in court. When the government gets to arbitrarily decide who is a terrorist and who isn't (based on nothing) innocent people end up in jail for a decade. This is why EVERYONE gets the presumption of innocents and EVERYONE gets a day in court. Period!
