We Need an Administrative-Detention Law. Denver shows us why we shouldn’t treat terror as a law-enforcement problem.

By Andrew C. McCarthy= "This is the bind we’ve put ourselves in by wedding our security to our criminal-justice processes: Arrest early to prevent an attack and prosecutors won’t be able to make charges stick — certainly not against the most significant terrorists. But if we wait too long in order for law enforcement to build a solid case, we increase the chance of a catastrophic terrorist attack."...."Our criminal-justice system is rightly the envy of the world, but it was designed to contain crime rather than to protect the nation from hostile foreign threats. By relying on it to do that which it is not fit to do — a job at odds with the presumption of innocence — we continue to invite catastrophe."
