If past reports say almost 2 thirds of people in Jordanian prisons haven't been charged with a crime then really is it gonna be that different when this law gets passed. It's not like authorities in Jordan today try to detain a suspected terrorist and then they think "oh, but wait, we can't the law doesn't tell us we can do this". Sigh! Sounds like its poorly written, and maybe on purpose? :S
