How does the Government "detain" and not file a charge?
Remind me again about ...."THIS IS OUR COUNTRY"
It's not your country, you're just leasing the right to exist there. It's the same in almost any country.
Detain? Well ask the guys down in guantanamo that have been sitting there for 5 years without being charged. I guess if they don't pull the terroism trick on you they could probally legally detain you for X amount of time before having to charge you.
