군은 기다린다 Guantanamo 해고를 재판한다

데비드 McFADDEN

군 재판관은 아프가니스탄에 있는 미국 군인을 죽이기의 고소된 Guantanamo 만 피억류자에 대하여 책임의 그의 해고를 재고하는 펜타곤 요구를 사절했다.

재판관, 육군 Col. 정부의 경신된 법적인 논쟁이 Omar Khadr의 경우에 관할의 부족을 결심하지 않았다 금요일 지배되는 그가 2002년에 아프가니스탄 전장에 검거된 경우의 15살인 피터 Brownback, 캐나다인.

Khadr는 "불법" 적 전투원으로 확인되지 않았기 때문에 그의 군 예심이 붕괴된 2명의 피억류자의 한개이다.

A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon, said Saturday that the military is preparing to file a challenge to the Court of Military Commissions Review, a Washington-based appeals court that was set up within a week of the dismissal of the two detainees’ charges on June 4.

“We’re disappointed with the judge’s decision in this matter,” Gordon said.

Another judge who threw out the case against Yemeni detainee Salim Ahmed Hamdan has not yet ruled on prosecutors’ motion to reconsider, Gordon said.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to review whether Guantanamo Bay detainees can use federal courts to challenge their confinement, reversing an April decision not to hear arguments on the issue.

Like the rest of the detainee population, Khadr and Hamdan previously were identified by military review panels only as enemy combatants, lacking the “unlawful” designation required by the law that authorized the new trials. Pentagon officials have described the problem as largely semantics.

But the cases have dealt a blow to the Bush administration in its efforts to begin prosecuting dozens at the detention center in southeastern Cuba.

Last year, Republicans and the White House pushed through legislation authorizing the war-crimes trials after the Supreme Court threw out Bush’s previous system as illegal and in violation of international treaties.

Khadr and Hamdan are the only ones currently in the roughly 380-prisoner population at Guantanamo who have been charged with crimes under a reconstituted military trial system.

One other detainee charged under the new system, Australian David Hicks, pleaded guilty in March to providing material support to al-Qaida and is serving a nine-month sentence in Australia.
