That is a lazy and dangerous thought. First, this is not the governments first rodeo - they know how to do trials involving sensitive data. Second, if what you say is valid, that the state the right to hold anyone they don't like indefinitely without trial, on any basis they choose, then what you've described is in direct conflict with the Constitution of the United States. The opportunities for abuse are without bound. The result is inhumane in the extreme. It is "only" a handful of men held for 20 years without trial, right? That's awful enough, I would say, but consider that your excuse could be used to justify the executive branch holding any number of people for any reason, and without any oversight. Consider what someone without scruples could do with that power.
