3 years of pretrial detention for anything less than blowing up a building should be enough to enrage anyone. Even then, the legal system would be a failure.

How is 3 years pretrial not blatantly unconstitutional and thrown out immediately?

Ah, you must be new here. All kidding aside, the "Global War on Terror" was the impetus for all of the surveillance and associated persecution of innocents without due process. Always disappointed, never surprised.

And the Global War on Terror wasn't even the first American War on Due Process. Remember the War on Drugs? It is mostly forgotten but the civil forfeiture remains as its legacy.
