Your son/daughter/brother/sister/partner has been arrested by the security services on suspicion of terrorism, they have sworn blind to you that they are innocent but have been whisked away to a secret location and interrogated using waterboarding to glean information that authorities believe might relate to an imminent terror threat. Because your loved one is now being classed as an 'enemy combatant' you are not sure when or if they will be released.

How would you feel?

Angry at a failed government. Sad that I wouldn't ever see them again, and if I did see them again, I would likely be with them at that same secret location.

I would be curious as to what stupid shit they did to get on the enemy combatant list.

My Brother is a Vet. and not a liberal POS that hangs out with the anti-American crowd so this wouldn't happen to him.

If it did happen to him he would fully cooperate with the people and there would most likely be no water boarding or very limited waterboarding before they figured out, hey, everything he tells us is the truth and it matches what his family and friends say.

So, go fuck yourself.

Yes, because what Braddock described is TOTALLY un-American

To answer the OP, I'd be very mad. I'd like to say I'd make a big deal out of it, get it public as 2tuff said, sue the living daylights out of the government. Even if I can't win the lawsuits; the more it costs the government to keep my innocent relative unjustly imprisoned the better.

I'd find a kid with Down Syndrome, strap a bomb to them and send them into a cafe full of civilians who have nothing to do with my relative getting captured.

That'll show 'em!

My family are all law-abiding citizens who wouldn't hang out with or contact terrorist assholes.  Hence, no whisking and no waterboarding.

Stirring up press attention usually does a great job of getting the government to explain itself.  I would go this route as well.

no kidding

I guess the OP doesn't state this is in the U.S., but that is where I live, and that is where this seems most topical, so at least for me I am assuming this is in the U.S.

I don't believe the US would act any differently.

Having said that, I also doubt that torture will be used on a US citizen any time soon: the groups wanting to do that are on thin ice as it is.
