September 11th is a tragedy that we will all carry with us for the rest of our lives.
The second group, this administration, was working hard before September 11th to devise a comprehensive framework to deal with Al Qaida based on the best knowledge that we in the intelligence community could provide, and during this time the intelligence community did not stand still.

Where mandatory detention is involved, the government simply abandons an individual hearing altogether, deciding instead on the basis of immutable characteristics, usually national origin, that particular groups of non-citizens can be locked away even if they present no danger and are likely to appear at future proceedings.
