"Many people" is not the same thing as "U.S. citizen." The only people who
are being held without charges or legal representation for any length of
time are non-U.S. citizens (and I believe the only people being held
without legal representation are the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay).
"Among the refugee seekers from other countries are: 11 Germans, 15
Italians, nine from the U.K., four Swedes and a Swiss."
Thank goodness you folks are talking care of the Swedes. The last time we
granted Swedes asylum status, boatloads of them showed up trying to escape
that hellhole of a legal system. I've even heard of they abuse their
prisoners by threatening to take away their unemployment fund benefits.
Barbarians!
