While it's true that the acts of terrorism are despicable and terrifying, it's important to remember the principles our justice system is founded on. The presumption of innocence until proven guilty is a cornerstone of our legal system. This principle applies to everyone, regardless of their nationality or the crimes they're accused of. For instance, consider the case of Salim Hamdan, Osama bin Laden's former driver. He was held at Guantanamo Bay for a long time before finally getting a fair trial in the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled his detention as unlawful. This case was a reminder that our justice system values fairness and the rule of law over fear and prejudice. What are your thoughts on this? How can we balance national security with the need to uphold our legal principles?
