Memeorandum suggests that John McCain is opposed to treating the Times Square bomber under criminal law.

He's wrong.

Look, it's simple - and I've made this point since Moussaoui. US citizen? Legal US resident? Activity committed on US soil? You're suspected of treason, and entitled to the full protections of the law.

Activity committed offshore - US citizen or not? Bag 'em and tag 'em. Non US resident? Ditto.

I'm sorry, but we're fighting to protect the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution. And that just doesn't jibe with US citizens or residents held in undisclosed locations, incommunicado, outside out legal system.
