Riz Khan - Guantanamo: No-man's land - 16 Jun 08 - Part 2

The military tribunal system set up by the Bush administration in 2001 to prosecute "enemy combatants" was dealt another blow last week, this time from the US Supreme Court. The court ruled that detainees could bring their cases to civil courts in the US. To explore what the court's decision means to Guantanamo prisoners, and to Bush's vision of the "war on terror" in general, Riz speaks to two legal experts on Guantanamo.

There continues to be the comparison between Gitmo and stateside prisons. And how humane Gitmo is in comparison. Isn't it time that US prison standards were investigated. You get this constantly on US tv - 'own up or your going to the gulag where rape happens'. This acceptance that the prisoner looses hunan rights. Its no coincidence that the Abu Greib offenders were state side prison officers. Cultural transference!

She can't even define "war on terror," sad.

I'm embarrassed for the US judicial system that this was ONLY a 5:4 decision. Something so basic should have been 9:0
