The Nation: Gitmo Trials Are Reported RiggedPosted on Feb 21, 2008It’s unfortunately not unusual anymore to hear about the politicization of American legal and intelligence institutions under the Bush administration, but, even so, this report by The Nation’s Ross Tuttle about how the trials of six key prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have allegedly been rigged from the get-go is disturbing.
Update: Col. Morris Davis has told the Associated Press that he would be willing to testify on behalf of the defense in an upcoming trial:

Anything and everything goes for the “war of terrorism”. You know, the war being fought against the American people.
By Jim Yell, February 22 at 7:24 am # no convictions, the pattern goes onThe most disturbing thing about the criminal abuse of our legal process by Bush/Cheney and their appointees is that not holding these people to account for their crimes will encourage politicians and the military to continue to lie and treat citizens concerns in a dismissive manner. The only satisfaction we can hope for this as Bush/Cheney leave the scene of the crime without accountability or punishment, is in a Democratic win the new administration may well do to the Republicans what Republicans have done to the nation. The down side is there is nothing to stop all of them from using this tool of repression and oppression against us all and that is the reason that Bush/Cheney should stand criminal trials for breaking their oath of office and for disregarding the rule of law for their supporters enrichment and their pathetic egos.
