Leaked emails claim Guantánamo trials rigged 01 Aug 2005 Leaked emails

from two former prosecutors claim the military tribunals set up to try

detainees at Guantánamo Bay are rigged, fraudulent, and thin on

evidence against the accused. [Oh, 'rigged, fraudulent, and thin on

evidence' - just like the 2000 and 2004 presidential 'election' results.]

Two Prosecutors Faulted Trials for Detainees 01 Aug 2005 As the

Pentagon was making its final preparations to begin war crimes trials

against four detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, two senior prosecutors

complained in confidential messages last year that the trial system

had been secretly arranged to improve the chance of conviction and to

deprive defendants of material that could prove their innocence. Among

the striking statements in the prosecutors' messages was an assertion

by one that the chief prosecutor had told his subordinates that the

members of the military tribunal that would try the first four

defendants would be " handpicked " to ensure that all would be convicted.

Terror trials fixed: US lawyers 01 Aug 2005 Former US Army lawyers

have claimed the American military rigs the trial process under which

Australian David Hicks is to be prosecuted. Hicks's military lawyer

Major Michael Mori said he was " shocked " by the revelations from two

former prosecutors, who claimed there was no attempt to ensure fair

trials and that juries were stacked against terrorist suspects to

ensure convictions.
