In WWII the Nazis believed that the French Resistance fighters they captured had intelligence value for about 24 hours. They would try to break them before that. If they couldn't, they figured that anything they got out of them would be outdated because the Resistance would assume their people were compromised and change plans.

Conversly, the Resistance was trained to assume that anyone who was captured was broken immediately, so they automatically went to plan B upon one of them being captured. Therefore, the captured righters had intelligence value for about 24 hours, or as long as it took for work to get out that Raul and Julia went missing.

You think the bad guys don't know when we get one of them? I think they'd notice when Abdul stopped coming into the car bomb factory. Sure, every once in a while we can turn one without the bad guys knowing it, but that guy isn't going to be asking for a habeus hearing. There is simply no logistical problem with giving terrorism detainees a habeus hearing.

The Britts can hold terrorist supects without charges for 28 days before judicial overview, and can petition for longer time upon showing good cause. Somehow I don't trust the government that delivers my mail, that came within a hair of electing Hillary Clinton president, and which can't even count its own people at census time, to be perfect telling which are the good guys and who are the bad ones. If they're bad, there will be proof of it. If not, they guy shouldn't be in jail. 28 days seems like a reasonable to to be able to hold a terrorist suspect without charges before some judicial oversight.
