I was glad to hear that the US Supreme Court has ruled that the Bush Administration cannot use Military Tribunals to try the detainees at Guantanamo.

Hopefully, this will lead to either trial or release for the people held there and reclassification as either Prisoners of War or defendants in criminal court.

I’ve never been comfortable with the idea of ‘unlawful combatants’, a designation that could arbitrarily be applied to anyone, completely outside of due process and the rule of law.

Creating a designation such as this and holding people without charge and due process is a step down the slippery slope that leads to extra-judicial detention, torture, and execution.

The CONADEP (National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons) report, written in 1984 by a commission investigating the ‘DirtyWar’ in Argentina after the military junta who were largely responsible had stepped down makes for some interesting reading, especially the section on the thought process and underlying ideology of the military government in this ‘war against subversion and terror’.
