This is good news IMO. Glad to see Obama come to his sense on this.
Like the Bush administration, the Obama administration argues that the legal basis for indefinite detention of aliens it considers dangerous is separate from war-crimes prosecutions. Officials say that the laws of war allow indefinite detention to prevent aliens from committing warlike acts in future, while prosecution by military commission aims to punish them for war crimes committed in the past.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/07/detainees-acquitted-free/
So, whats the point of the trials again???
