Hard to tell with military tribunals. Many of them were YOUTHS. Many have committed suicide.

Even if ALL were guilty of something, how we treat people and the potentially counter-productive precedents established by these horrid, absurd policies are still of concern to every American citizen.

Big fan of George W. Bush's and Donald Rumsfeld's policies and innovations, are you?
