This is but a very brief clip of a fascinating and very important article just released on the Nation Web site. Please, read the entire piece, and learn how the guy running the trials at Gitmo is demanding there be NO acquittals.....period. The situation gets dirtier and dirtier every day. I can't wait until Jan 20, 2009.

Secret evidence. Denial of habeas corpus. Evidence obtained by
waterboarding. Indefinite detention. The litany of complaints about the
treatment of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay is long, disturbing and
by now familiar. Nonetheless, a new wave of shock and criticism greeted
the Pentagon's announcement on February 11 that it was charging six
Guantánamo detainees, including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid
Shaikh Mohammed, with war crimes--and seeking the death penalty for all
of them.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080303/tuttle">
Now, as the murky, quasi-legal staging of the Bush Administration's
military commissions unfolds, a key official has told <I>The Nation</I>
that the trials have been rigged from the start. According to Col.
Morris Davis, former chief prosecutor for Guantánamo's military
commissions, the process has been manipulated by Administration
appointees to foreclose the possibility of acquittal.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B1233DB4-3AD1-4DDE-92B3-3C1D2CE1B3BA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
