yet another telling episode

that will be ignored by the powers that be AND the american public. i guess they don't realize we have a system of justice in this country. i KNOW they would be outraged (and are outraged) if and when OUR citizens are treated exactly like we are treating some. the democrats in congress and the senate are sitting on their big fat asses. sure, they'll form some committee or another, sure they'll moan and gripe. BUT THEY WON'T DO AN EFFING THING. this has to not only be recognized for what it is (treason, crimes against humanity, crimes against the united states of america) BUT THOSE RESPONSIBLE BE MADE ACCOUNTABLE
From Chief Prosecutor To Critic at Guantanamo

By Josh WhiteWashington Post Staff Writer
GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba, April 28 -- The Defense Department's former chief prosecutor for terrorism cases appeared Monday at the controversial U.S. detention facility here to argue on behalf of a terrorism suspect that the military justice system has been corrupted by politics and inappropriate influence from senior Pentagon officials.
Sitting just feet from the courtroom table where he had once planned to make cases against military detainees, Air Force Col. Morris Davis instead took the witness stand to declare under oath that he felt undue pressure to hurry cases along so that the Bush administration could claim before political elections that the system was working.
His testimony in a small, windowless room -- as a witness for Salim Ahmed Hamdan, an alleged driver for Osama bin Laden -- offered a harsh insider's critique of how senior political officials have allegedly influenced the system created to try suspected terrorists outside existing military and civilian courts.
Davis's claims, which the Pentagon has previously denied, were aired here as the Supreme Court nears a decision on whether the Military Commissions Act of 2006 that laid the legal foundation for these hearings violates the Constitution by barring any of the approximately 275 remaining Guantanamo Bay prisoners from forcing a civilian judicial review of their detention. .........
