Blowback, Detainee-Style

Karen J. Greenberg writes:
"For Americans, it should be startling to see the word 'detainee' suddenly appear in a different country, on a different continent, and referring not to alleged jihadi terrorists but to a group of Americans. After all, 'detainee' is the word the Bush administration coined to deal with suspected terrorist captives who, they argued, should be subjected to extra-legal treatment as part of the global war on terrorism. Now, that terminology is - as critics long predicted might happen - being turned against American citizens. I am referring to the current detention of Americans in Iran."
