From Americablog:http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/06/60-minutes-sund... 60 Minutes Sunday -- Military Lawyers Denounce Show Trials for Guantanamo Bay Suspectsby Michael in New York - 6/3/2005 01:35:00 PM
A new report by Ed Bradley airing on "60 Minutes" this Sunday at 7 p.m., reinforces the obvious with new interviews of the military lawyers assigned to defend Guantanamo Bay suspects. They're quoted at length that the strictures in place -- keeping evidence hidden from defendants, admitting hearsay and rumour, make a mockery of our legal system and virtually impossible for them to mount a fair defense.
And of course, the trial really is a complete joke since even if someone is found innocent, they'll most likely be thrown right back in their cell -- and if they're found guilty, they'll serve their time...and still remain locked up.
“If
Salim wins, does he get anything?" asks Navy Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift. "No, he goes back to the same cell, so it seems awfully a lot for show, doesn’t it?"
