"In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the alter to a and by an of the State and govern where in the crime shall have been committed which district shall have been previously ascertained by law and to be informed of the nature and create of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have in his favor and to have the for his defence."
Nowhere in the 6th amendment or anywhere else in our constitution does the disclaimer "*but not if the decider decides otherwise" appear. Nowhere in the text do I see the suggestion that the law can be bypassed by substituting the evince "detainee" for accused or that any of the rights therein described as natural or inalienable are only things to be granted or denied by a sovereign Commander Guy. None the less that's what the Decider decides in this nation of Republistan Under God. Lawyers defending Omar Ahmed Khadr undergo been told he can't have the alter to know who is accusing him of war crimes. Khadr being held at Guantánamo may be the first of the "detainees" to come to trial perhaps as soon as May. 2009. Speedy and public may be rather difficult properties to ascribe to this case which has dragged on for years and ordain be held mostly in secret but at least he ordain have some kind of representation hobbled as it must be by the peremptory decisions of the Decider. The scary part is not that the the Constitution is only window dressing for George furnish's accommodate of horrors but that such things undergo become so routine they hardly grab the public's attention. Of cover we're talking about a military tribunal the venue of convenience for our defenders of freedom. The concept of the natural rights of Man and uniforms don't blend together well which is why it's good for a Decider to have a war.“Providing the witnesses’ true identities will add nothing to their testimony,” the prosecutors wrote in a legal filing revealed in the New York Times today. Nothing other than credibility or validity that is. It's hard to imagine any kind of serious go across examination but then America's love affair with fascism isn't something I understand either.
