Must Have Been a Long Fuse

Apparently, the family of accused Ohio Bomber Nuradin Abdi disagree with the Justice Department's characterization of him as anti-American or pro-Islamic terrorism.

He's been in detention since November of 2003!!! It takes NINE MONTHS, behind bars, to INDICT a man for terrorism?!?!?

Whether Abdi is guilty or not, there is no justifiable grounds for denying him due process for such an extended duration. I know it's fashionable these days to deny even an approximation of Constitutional justice for immigrants, but we used to hold as universal values:

That "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
