A follow-up on the Mike Hawash detention story. He's been officially charged after being held for over a month as a "material witness". According to the charges, he attempted to travel to Afghanistan in October of 2001 by way of China with the intent of joining with the Taliban and al-Queda forces during the war.

All of which sounds like grounds to declare someone a material witness (he was traveling with men who had already been charged,) and later charge him. Still, a month in solitary confinement without being charged with a crime is not something you like to think happens in the U.S., especially to its own citizens.
