I found this video interesting. The first segment of the video mentions the captures of 60 people who were taken in custody by the U.S. government after being lessened from a list of 1000. An interesting question that was asked during this segment was “is the U.S. a battle zone? If so is it okay to enforce military law? Juliette talked about the care of those people early in the segment she states “all we got is a piece of critical information of some guys who maybe fit the descriptions of the act.” Although Viet Dinh believes that’s a reasonable with the actions of the government he states “you can’t keep these guys in a whole forever and expect the public or constitution to ignore it.” In regards to that statement Joseph reply by stating “you detain captured enemies not because they’ve commit a crime but to remove them from the battle field.” Which is interesting because the government don’t have access to any solid evidence that’s indicates these people are enemies.
Later in the video they talked about the due process of law. According to the U.S. constitution all citizens have the right of a speedy trail. I find it interesting how the Gov. can detain an individual without any evidence or the presents of a lawyer.
