So these guys are in a legal netherworld where there are no rules and no power they can appeal to. That's a big moral problem for America.
The law of averages and just large numbers says that at least some of these guys aren't guilty of anything other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but they have never had their day in court.

I hope that some process is developed so that these guys can be tried, and then either sentenced or set free.
