7 Days According to Patriot Act

I'm surprised none of us has noticed this before. I went to check out the story about the Patriot Act being renewed, and I saw a CNN overview of it. Follow the link and look for Interactive:Patriot Act Overview.

The part that caught my attention was about 'Detention and Jail'

Wouldn't this apply to gitmo, since the people held there are being called terror suspects and not POWs?

The people being held in Gitmo aren't just poor muslims that were in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Maybe charges have been filed against some/all of them?

Yeah, I know...they're terror suspects. And in the Patriot Act, it says 7 days without a charge.

I hope so, but I thought that was the whole issue down there...many of them haven't been charged with anything. And I thought it was because of some loophole. But if the Patriot Act specifies 7 days for terrorists...then it's pertty much lying. I'm trying not to jump to conclusions on this. I know that the people we have incarcerated there shouldn't be let out (unless they follow VIBELEVEN's plan). But the gov't should at least follow the rules they made in the Patriot Act...why would they make them in the first place if they are to be ignored?
