The parody of justice known as military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay are allegedly rigged in favor of the government. This is not according to a terrorist... er, accused terrorist.... er, suspected terrorist who says this. This is not according to Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader or some other 'blame America first' loonie leftist. This is according to two US soldiers who worked on the prosecution team at Gitmo on those very same military tribunals.
The soldiers involved asked to be reassigned rather than participate in the kangaroo court. [T]hey accused fellow prosecutors of ignoring torture allegations, failing to protect evidence that could help defendants establish a defense and withholding information from superiors, reports The Washington Post. One of the soldiers asserted that the chief prosecutor had told subordinates that the members of the military commission that would try the first four defendants would be "handpicked" to ensure that all would be convicted.
