The term ‘detention’ is an empty concept used to gloss over important ethical dimensions of national security that undermines effective advocacy efforts.
Eppinger 13 (Monica, Assistant Professor, Saint Louis University School of Law and Department of Sociology and Anthropology, “Reality Check: Detention in the War on Terror”, 62 Cath. U.L. Rev. 325, Winter, L/N)
In ten years…future advocacy efforts.

Word choice is key – use of the term ‘detention’ allows for and trivializes solitary confinement.
McConnaughey 12 (Hillary, BA, Political Science, Colgate University, “"Punishment Narratives: Tracking Supreme Court Jurisprudence Concerning Solitary Confinement", Colgate Academic Review, 8(7), http://commons.colgate.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1093andcontext=car)
Word choice sets…narrative clearly manifests.

Solitary confinement is a living hell for prisoners – the affirmative’s claims of fair trial serve only to mask the inhumane conditions of pre- and post-trial imprisonment.

Yegge Director of Clinical Programs and Associate Professor of Law, founding director of the Civil Rights Clinic at the University of Denver, and Jeanne, Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York and Co-Founder of Educators for Civil Liberties, “Preferring Order to Justice”, 61 Am. U.L. Rev. 1331, June, L/N)
In August 2010…kind of process?

Use of the term ‘internment’ activates international legal protections that solve the ethical concerns created by the term ‘detention’ and its illusion of accountability.
Pejic 11 (Jelena, Legal Adviser in the Legal Division of the International Committee of the Red Cross, “The European Court of Human Rights’Al-Jedda judgment: the oversight of international humanitarian law”, International Review of the Red Cross, 93(883), September, http://www.icrc.org/eng/assets/files/review/2011/irrc-883-pejic.pdf)
Second, it is…case-by-case basis.

Focus on detainee due process masks the racial, religious and class motivated disparities in the federal legal system that contributes to violent practices of governmental control.  Invoking national security justifications for the plan ensures that the government’s conduct in the war on terror will gain legal approval.

Yegge Director of Clinical Programs and Associate Professor of Law, founding director of the Civil Rights Clinic at the University of Denver, and Jeanne, Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York and Co-Founder of Educators for Civil Liberties, “Preferring Order to Justice”, 61 Am.

Accordingly, much of…of civil libertarians.

The question of method is key to evaluating the effectiveness of strategies used to oppose indefinite detention – the affirmative’s discourse touting the fairness and legitimacy of civilian trials serves to makes the systematic biases built into our legal system.  This allows racism deeply engrained within the structure of the law to remain unchallenged.
Stahl 11 (Aviva, researcher for CagePrisoners,a human rights organisation that exists solely to raise awareness of the plight of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and other detainees held as part of the War on Terror, “The myth of fair trials for terror suspects in the US”, 12/6, http://www.cageprisoners.com/our-work/opinion-editorial/item/2961-the-myth-of-fair-trials-for-terror-suspects-in-the-us)
Senator Mark Udall…of our legal system.

Racism makes war, violence and genocide inevitable.

I have thus…biological in nature.

Vote negative to engage in constant, active criticism of the legal system.  Even if we cannot articulate an alternative vision for the future, shaking the rug out from under the legal system is a necessary prerequisite to any successful move toward liberation.  Freeing us from the shackles of legal tradition is the only way for each of us to assume individual responsibility for the way we live our lives.
Singer 84 (Joseph William, Associate Professor of Law at Boston University, “The Player and the Cards: Nihilism and Legal Theory,” 94 Yale L.J. 1, L/N)
What shall we…that question ourselves.
