6. Interesting points. I am not familiar with how the military legal

system works. I did not know you could hire a civilian lawyer, eg. As far as how much time it is taking, again, what would be the normal amount of time?

Since the Military Commissions Act I have no faith in military trials. Especially since even under Bush many military prosecutors resigned from prosecuting detainees because in so many cases the evidence was so tainted they could not in conscience proceed.

I sincerely doubt he will get a fair trial. In fact, why is he the one in jail and not the war criminals whose crimes he exposed?
