Gitmo Hearings to Begin

Today the detainment facility at Guantanomo Bay begins hearings on whether its occupants for the last four years can be classified as as enemy combatant and then imprisoned indefinitely. Ok. The word is "hearing" is a little loaded. The detainees have representatives who are not lawyers and they are not allowed to view any of the evidence used against them that is deemed classified.

At least these "hearings" won't last too long.

We are a country that believes in the sanctity of freedom and the necessity of due process... except when we don't.
