While it sucks for him and all, even an expert hired by his own lawyer agreed that the fingerprint was a match. Anything less than diligence on the FBI's part is unacceptable.

I have no problem with him being detained for questioning. My problem is the use of the material witness statute in a way that wasn't intended. Technically, he could have been held for YEARS under the statute with no charges. If he instead had an arrest warrant, which would have been the appropriate way to detain him, then he would have had far more rights under the law.
