Imprisoned Pulitzer-prize Winning AP Photographer

Andrew Sullivan writes about The Case of Bilal Hussein. "An Iraqi working as a contract photographer for the Associated Press has been held—uncharged—by the U.S. military for seven months. The U.S. says Bilal Hussein has links to terrorists. The outraged AP implores the Pentagon to charge him or free him." We have no idea if he did anything, but that is the problem with detaining people without charges. Now the military is not used to charging people with crimes, but that goes back to the point that military shouldn't be used for policing.
