Well, before he had been formally charged, he (an American citizen) had been 
held for about 6 weeks.  This certainly is against the 4th amendment and sets 
a bad precedent against the 'innocent until proven guilty' deal.

Now that he has been charged (and given what few facts I know), it seems that 
he may be guilty of bad judgement more than conspiracy.  Hard to say right 
now.
