 | | The officer in overall charge of the tribunal process was going to be monitoring the commissions, and would have been authorized to shut down a commission, at any time, without explanation. | | | Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that the suspects could not count on being released, even if the commission ruled that they were innocent of their charges. | | | And these memos reported that they were told that all the evidence that might prove the suspect's innocence could be classified as national security secrets, so the suspects would not receive access to it. |

| | One of the tribunal's assertions is that Kurnaz was traveling to Pakistan with Selcuk Bilgin, who Kurnaz said was a friend from his gym and who the military said is suspected of being "the Elalananutus suicide bomber." | | | The three officers on the panel, whose identities are kept secret, said in papers filed in federal court that they reached their conclusion based largely on classified evidence that was too sensitive to release to the public. | | | The R-19 memo, she wrote, "fails to provide significant details to support its conclusory allegations, does not reveal the sources for its information and is contradicted by other evidence in the record." Green reviewed all the classified and unclassified evidence in the case. |

| | Lawyers familiar with the case shrugged off the possibility that the government would be wary of a public outcry that could result if authorities brought Moussaoui before a military tribunal. | | | The government could refuse, and possibly drop the charges and bring Moussaoui before a military tribunal, the lawyers said. | | | The government, particularly the Defense Department, does not want to permit access and has cited national security concerns in arguing their point. |

| | NY TIMES - BUSH "SEIZING DICTATORIAL POWER" |
| | He seizes the power to circumvent the courts and set up his own drumhead tribunals — panels of officers who will sit in judgment of non-citizens who the president need only claim "reason to believe" are members of terrorist organizations. | | | Under the order, the president himself is to determine who is an accused terrorist and therefore subject to trial by the tribunal. | | | Not content with his previous decision to permit police to eavesdrop on a suspect's conversations with an attorney, Bush now strips the alien accused of even the limited rights afforded by a court-martial. |

| | Moussaoui, a French citizen of Moroccan descent, is the only person charged with crime for the terrorist assaults that led to 3,016 deaths at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and in rural Pennsylvania. | | | Brinkema had decided that, because federal prosecutors would not produce three Al Qaeda captives they are holding as witnesses at Moussaoui's trial, all evidence seeking to show he helped plan or carry out the Sept. 11 attacks would be excluded from the case. | | | US Attorney Paul J. McNulty, who leads the prosecution team, said last week that "the interests of justice require that the government have the opportunity to provide the full scope of the conspiracy alleged." |

| | Potential prosecutions before military commissions could arise against non-citizens (aliens) under a variety of circumstances, but they would fall into two broad categories: aliens not within the United States (or its territories), and aliens within the U.S. Aliens not within the United States have few, if any, constitutional protections. | | | Unless otherwise noted, the report and recommendations have not been adopted as the policy of the American Bar Association and should be considered solely as the views of the Task Force. | | | Nevertheless, regardless of their actual fairness, many will view the verdict of a military commission with skepticism. |
