#2 As far as I can tell (not being at all military, and having no inside info other than Rantburg), the system currently being used at Guantanamo is based on the Court Martial.

Another "I'll do the same thing, but when I do it, it will be better!" from the Kedward camp.

#4 Yeah, but with our luck the Dems would make sure the worse that they get are General Discharges that turn Honorable after 6 months so they can get the veteran's bennies.

#6 "...permit exculpatory evidence to remain secret from defendants"

I think critics have there head up their butts. The defense has access to exculpatory evidence in the current trial system, because the defense lawyers are alll vetted and have clearance. Is Edwards suggesting that a Mark Geregos-type charlatan that is being paid by CAIR have acces to intelligence files?

#7 Well, gosh, John, thanks a lot. I've had many sleepless nights worrying about whether those Boy Scouts down at Gitmo were going to be tried fairly.
