Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
Doesn’t trial by military tribunal imply that the defendant was a member of a military/army?? And if so isn’t the whole reason for these people residing on Gitmo because the US refuses to recognise them as POW/members of an army and instead as “enemy combatants”?
Maybe I misunderstand the situation, but it seems as though the Bush administration is picking and chosing International laws to suit itself again
