For one thing, intel is not evidence. It's something completely different and there is a bloody good reason intel is never used to convict anyone.

But most importantly, who cares if there are info or not when they cannot be made public in the first place? I cannot stress how bad this is for our freedoms and rights. It's actually quite simple: you can't pretend to be free when the government has the power to imprison you without announcing the reason. End of story.
How many US citizens have been imprisoned without announcing the reason? Name one.
I take it non-US citizens are inferior humans then. The fact that I could be held without charges by your government is unimportant... Why the fuck should you care.
Did I say or imply anything of the sort?

No.

The difference is one group is protected by the US Constitution as citizens. The other is not.
