Justice -- Guantanamo Style
685026
The USA has been keeping approximately 600 detainees at Guantanamo Bay.  Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has called them "the worst of the worst".  Other sources have described them otherwise.    Abdurahman Khadr, who the CIA placed, as a mole, within the detainee population, said most of the detainees were innocent, or were merely local Taliban militia-men, with no intelligence value.    Well, after no public review of their status, the Guantanamo detainees are finally getting   their day in court -- kind of.  There are actually three separate kinds of reviews slowly underway.

After years of indefinite confinement, many detainees at Guantanamo Bay say they feel they may never receive justice, according to transcripts of hearings obtained by The Associated Press. Fewer than one in five of detainees allowed a hearing last year even bothered to show up for it.

On December 30th Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO)      announced the fifth death in custody of a Guantanamo captive.    The JTF-GTMO asserted that 68 year-old Abdul Razzak was a confirmed jihadist and military leader.    It is interesting to compare the JTF-GTMO claims with his testimony.    Note:  At about hour 20,   I am disappointed to report that I got very few editorial comments that look like they were intended to be helpful, during the edit phase of this article.    I have done my best to take the comments that look they were intended to be helpful into account.
