Watch: the political Left is gonna go all Mount St. Helens in three…two…one…

Um…maybe one more time: three…two…one…

Okay, maybe we start from five…four…three…

Guantanamo Bay detainees who are acquitted by civil or military courts may still be imprisoned indefinitely if the government determines that they pose a national security threat, the Defense Department’s chief lawyer said yesterday.

“The question of what happens if there’s an acquittal is an interesting question — we talk about that often within the administration,” Pentagon general counsel Jeh Johnson said at a Senate hearing.
“If, for some reason, he’s not convicted for a lengthy prison sentence, then, as a matter of legal authority, I think it’s our view that we would have the ability to detain that person,” he said.

No, wait, Glenn Greenwald got a Memeorandum thread going. So, there, some Lefties are upset.
