Correct. However it's entirely 'Lawful' under the Patriot Act for 'Unarmed Belligerents' to be completely denied Habus Corpus, Right to a Lawyer (except for an appearance in Court), Right to a speedy Trial and Right to even be Charged with a Crime. All previously long held Constitutional Rights for the Individual are completely removed. Patriot Act allows entirely 'Lawful' indefinite detention without Charge and there is absolutely zero Legislative oversight for the Govt to even publicize who or how many are incarcerated in this way or provide any evidence of their Guilt other than the allegations levelled against them.
EDIT; At the time many warned that this 'Act' would or could be used against normal everyday Citizens the Govt deemed problematic or held Anti Govt views etc but as usual was simply dismissed in the MSM and Congress (iirc) as a right wing or nutter tin foil hat conspiracy. Along the lines of 'If you're not doing anything wrong - there is nothing to worry about'.
