Seems like America already got there first, the Netherlands is just learning from them.

US mostly has a 72 hour limit on being held without charges. Netherlands and most of Europe are far worse.
Sir, the United Kingdom also has a maximum 72-hour hold limit (although there is a 14-day limit if you're under suspicion of terrorism).
However, the United States has a little beautiful place called Guantanamo Bay where there are people that haven't been charged for years.

United Kingdom sent prisoners to Guantanamo Bay and keeps people held there, as do other European countries. There are people who are European citizens held there only because the countries won't take them back. It doesn't really seem like the same topic as this one.
