Uncle Sam outlines evidence against British security whiz Hutchins

Aodhhan

The Constitution of the US and each individual state applies to anyone who is in the United States (and respective state), not just citizens. Even those in the US illegally are afforded the same constitutional rights and due process.

At any time Hutchins could have ended questioning.

Given the evidence provided so far, it's likely he was originally held because there was evidence provided from multiple sources which provides contrary information to the answers Hutchins provided. Lying during questioning isn't a good thing.

I'm also betting, that even in the country you live in, statements made without an attorney present can be used as evidence in court.

I love the ignorance about Guantanamo. First of all, Guantanamo is legally a sovereign part of Cuba. The USA is leasing the land there. Also, you would be quite wrong if you think the respective intelligence agency of most NATO countries don't have a location outside their own country to detain/question [whatever] foreigners/terrorists. You think all the individuals being held on terror plots which have halted before the act by MI5 within the UK are sitting in British jails? LOL
