The Military Commissions

A number of you have sent emails to me regarding the military commission proceedings now going on at Guantanamo. My client is not and will not be subject to a military commission-he is on the indefinite detention list. Basically what this means is that the government has no evidence for which to try him in any legal (or in the case of the military commissions-illegal) proceedings. I do read read about the military commissions- just as many of you do-but I do not consider myself an expert on the proceedings. I will post some links over the next few days for you to follow - there are many fine reporters covering the proceedings and if I had to pick just one it would definitely be Carol Rosenberg at the Miami Herald-she has been following Gitmo since the beginning. Here is one of her articles.
