What a sad comment we make to the world by imprisoning people in Guantanamo and then not allowing them to have a fair trial. We call them detainees and they have been detained for as much as six years without even knowing what evidence is being held against them.This means they can not mount a defence and perhaps it doesn't matter, for there is no real provision for finding them innocent. Just another trial if the results aren't what the government would like. Surely we can do better than this in a country that prides itself on fairness and democratic action.
