I'm going to become a lawyer and instigate the next war. I'll be rich representing all of the prisoners! "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do."

IF they were charged they would have less chance of a fair trial then anybody in the US civilian or military justice system. Have a look what an American Military lawyer from the USMC has to say about the fairness of the system: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3418905.stm Samples: "Major Mori said those who had created the tribunals process had a "vested interest" in securing convictions. " ""The military commissions will not provide a full and fair trial," Mori told the news conference " "But Major Mori warned the tribunals could establish "a dangerous precedent. "The reality is, we wouldn't tolerate these rules if they were applied to US citizens," he said. " That is what a Major in the USMC says about the system...--------------------------------------------------------- When people look like ants - pull. When ants look like people - pray.
