Some Detainees May Be Held Even if Acquitted
"Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said yesterday that some al Qaeda and Taliban fighters could continue to be imprisoned even after being tried and acquitted by U.S. military tribunals, if U.S. officials still believed they were dangerous terrorists."
Well, I'm glad they're going to be spending our tax dollars on this charade of taking them before the tribunal. No wonder Bush was so eager to visit Peru last week. The U.S. has very little experience with running kangaroo courts, so he wanted to ask former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori for some advice.
