New Rules for Tribunals would expose American Citizens [View All]

Bush's new plan:

From Human Rights Watch:

(Washington, D.C.) – The Bush administration has proposed draft legislation that largely recreates the deeply flawed military commissions that the Supreme Court struck down last month in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, Human Rights Watch said today.

Worse, the administration’s proposed legislation asks Congress to authorize its discredited policy of holding people indefinitely without charge. The draft legislation would authorize detaining people picked up anywhere in the world, including U.S. citizens, and holding them indefinitely without charge if the administration unilaterally deems them to be “associated with” or “part of” al-Qaeda or the Taliban.
