Richter hält Beweis gegen Terrorismus-Verdächtigen am Guantanamo Versuch ab
Dienstag, den 22. Juli 2008 Besprechen Sie diesen Report in den RINF Foren > Durch Lied J. Williams | Ein militärischer Richter sagt einige Aussagen durch Salim Ahmed Hamdan, ein Treiber für das beladene Osama Sortierfach, wurden gebildet `in den in hohem Grade zwingenden' Einstellungen. Es könnte einen Standard für andere Fälle einstellen. WASHINGTON - der militärische Richter, der die ersten Kriegsverbrechen Probe sind gegen einen Terrorismusverdächtigen an der Guantanamo Bucht beaufsichtigt, stimmte Montag zu, um etwas Beweis gegen beladenen ehemaligen Treiber des Osama Sortierfaches abzuhalten, weil er wurde erreicht „in den in hohem Grade zwingenden Klimas und in den Bedingungen.“ Am Tag öffnung des Versuches Marine-Kapitän. Keith J. Allred verweigerte Verteidigunganklänge, um andere Aussagen Salim Ahmed Hamdan auszuschließen, das während der Befragung durch US gebildet wurde Mittel in Afghanistan sowie während seiner mehr als sechs Jahre' Gefangenschaft an der Guantanamo Bucht, Kuba. Der Richter sagte, daß er Urteil auf einer Mai 2003 Befragung zurückhalten würde, bis die Verteidigung Zeit hatte, 600 Seiten der Verzögerungaufzeichnungen zu wiederholen, die die Regierung nicht bis Sonntag - die Nacht vor Versuch umdrehte. Der Ausschluß des Beweises Allred gegolten gezwungen konnte einen Standard für Zulässigkeit in anderen Kriegsverbrechen Fällen einstellen, die vor dem Tribunal in den kommenden Monaten passend sind, einschließlich das von Selbst-proklamiert Sept. Experte 11. „Die Interessen von Gerechtigkeit werden nicht gedient, indem man diese Aussagen wegen der in hohem Grade zwingenden Klimas und der Bedingungen, unter denen sie gebildet wurden,“ Allred zuläßt, das von den Aussagen Hamdan gesagt wird, das während sie durch US gebildet wird, gehalten werden Kräfte in den afghanischen Vorposten von Panjshir und von Bagram. Während seiner Gefangenschaft bei Bagram, wurde Hamdan angeblich von anderen Gefangenen und von Schutz geschlagen, beraubt Schlaf und informiert, die vermutlich defektem mindestens einem so schlecht geschlagen worden war, daß er starb. Allreds, das anordnet, um gezwungenes Zeugnis zu unterdrücken, konnte es schwierig bilden, damit andere Tribunalrichter ähnliche Ansprüche ignorieren, wie in das Argument gegen bekannt Sept. 11 Experte Khalid Shaikh Mohamed und vier andere, die die Todesstrafe gegenüberstellen. Mohamed ist einer von zwei Guantanamo Gefangenen, die bekannt sind gewesen zu sein, waterboarded während im CIA Schutz auswärts. Die Technik, die die Empfindung des Ertrinkens verursacht, ist gleichwertig zu quälen durch viele US gemeint worden Verbündete, zugelassene Gelehrte und Fürsprecher der menschlichen Rechte. Hamdan, ein Yemeni, das $200 ein den Monat Bin Laden in Afghanistan fahrend erwarb, wurde im November 2001 gefangengenommen. He is charged with conspiracy and material support for terrorism, and faces up to life imprisonment if convicted by the jury — actually, a military commission made up of six senior officers and an alternate. Allred had been asked by Hamdan’s defense team to suppress numerous statements the defendant made under questioning after his capture near Kandahar, including two videotaped interrogations. The judge said he would allow the videos to be played for the commissioners when testimony gets underway later this week. But he agreed to exclude other statements made before Hamdan’s May 2002 transfer from Afghanistan field prisons to the Guantanamo detention center for terrorism suspects. Aside from withholding judgment on the May 2003 interrogation pending the defense review, the judge said interrogation results would be allowed into evidence only if the interrogators who conducted the sessions were available for cross-examination. Much of the evidence the government wanted to introduce was drawn from interrogations in which the notes and records of those involved were destroyed. The tribunal’s chief prosecutor, Army Col. Lawrence Morris, said he hadn’t decided whether to appeal the ruling. “We need to evaluate . . . to what extent it has an impact on our ability to fully portray his criminality in this case, but also what it might set out for future cases,” Morris told the Associated Press. Hamdan’s trial is expected to take about three weeks. He has indicated at times that he may boycott the proceedings, and has made conflicting statements as to what degree he will allow his Navy lawyer, Lt. Cmdr. Brian Mizer, to represent him in his absence. Hamdan testified during pretrial hearings last week that he was subjected to sleep deprivation, solitary confinement and sexual humiliation during interrogations at Guantanamo. Allred largely rejected motions to dismiss statements made during interrogations there, saying the techniques employed by detention officials could be “rationally related to good order and discipline.” Officers of the Joint Task Force that runs the prison and interrogation network at Guantanamo said Hamdan was deprived of “comfort items” such as personal hygiene products as punishment for violating camp rules. Hamdan is the first of nearly 800 men brought to Guantanamo over the last 6 1/2 years to face trial in the first U.S.-administered war crimes cases since World War II. About 265 remain at the sprawling compound of maximum-security prisons, open-air cells and a barracks-like facility for a few dozen of the most cooperative prisoners. Most of the others have been repatriated. War crimes charges have been sworn out against 21 Guantanamo prisoners over the last 18 months. Of those prisoners, 11 have been arraigned. All but two, Hamdan and Canadian Omar Khadr, have indicated they will refuse to attend their trials as a show of contempt for a process they say is inherently stacked against them. Thirteen potential jurors were brought to Guantanamo over the weekend. During questioning, several indicated that they carried emotional scars from the Sept. 11 attacks, which killed or endangered friends and colleagues. The Pentagon was one of the targets. The six jurors and one alternate were sworn in Monday. At least two potential jurors appeared to have been excluded because of their raw feelings associated with Sept. 11.

Hypocrisy of the “Repatriate Omar Khadr to Canada” Movement
As soon as the Gitmo interrogation tape of Omar Khadr hit the Internet, the blogosphere was flooded with demands to repatriate him to Canada. This wave is reminiscent of a Soviet campaign to free Luis Corvalán from the “fascist regime” of Augusto Pinochet thirty five years ago. The scenario is strikingly similar. A “victim” held by “fascist regimes” this time run by Bush and Harper, and a public outcry for justice. Except for the fact that Luis Corvalán didn’t kill anyone and didn’t fight for a terrorist group that wants to impose Sharia.
The “repatriate Khadr” crowd describes him as “a child”, “a kid”, “a boy”, and even “a torture victim”, with no facts to substantiate the torture claims notwithstanding. They complain about Khadr being mistreated, again, without anything to back up their claims. Some of them are outraged about “child abuse.” And they all scream for justice.
They want justice? OK, let’s talk about JUSTICE. What about justice for Sgt. First Class Christopher J. Speer, who was (according to an eyewitness) murdered by this “child”? What about justice for Tabitha Speer, who is a widow because of this “kid”? What about justice for Taryn and Tanner Speer, who are left without a father by this “a boy”? And what about all those Afghani civilians and NATO troops who are a little bit safer because this “torture victim” is behind bars? How many of these “repatriate Khadr” hypocrites concern themselves with justice for real victims? In literally hundreds of posts, we couldn’t find a single one.
One would ask, what is the reason for this idiocy? The answer is simple. Ignorance. Complete and utter ignorance. Let’s forget for a second that Omar Khadr killed Christopher Speer. Let’s forget that Khadr’s father was an al Qaeda financier. Let’s forget that Khadr’s family is known for it being al Qaeda sympathizers. Let’s just remember what this “child” was fighting for in Afghanistan.
This is what Taliban-imposed Sharia looks like in real life: http://muslimsagainstsharia.blogspot.com/2000/07/hypocrisy-of-repatriate-omar-khadr-to.html
Why don’t all of you, bleeding heart demagogues go to Afghanistan and spend a day in a Taliban-controlled territory? And let’s talk about Khadr when you get back. If you get back.
