US remodels Guantanamo hearings - military officers w/preside as judges
US remodels Guantanamo hearings
By Daniela Relph
BBC News, Washington

Detainees will in most cases be present at their hearings
The military authorities in the United States have announced changes to the military commission that will try detainees at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
The structure of the trials will now be similar to a traditional US court room, with a presiding officer effectively acting as a judge.
