Top Military Lawyers Oppose Plan for Special Courts

Hey! Do any of you congress-critter have ears to hear?

Hell, maybe you want a military counter coup, who can make any sense of anything you people do anymore.

If there is one, there will be civilians in Washington, too.

We do not do military dictatrorships anymore than we do sanctioning murder for money, or an equally despicable excuse.


Top Military Lawyers Oppose Plan for Special Courts:

The military's top uniformed lawyers, appearing at a Senate hearing yesterday, criticized key provisions of a proposed new U.S. plan for special military courts, affirming that they did not see eye to eye with the senior Bush administration political appointees who developed the plan and presented it to them last week.

The lawyers' rare, open disagreement with civilian officials at the Pentagon, the Justice Department and the White House came during discussions of proposed new rules for the use of evidence derived from hearsay or coercion and the possible exclusion of defendants from the trials in some circumstances.
