Tribunal Process for Terrorists

Tribune:

The tribunal process proposed by Bush allows for the use of hearsay and coerced testimony and for secret evidence. It also limits detainees' rights to appeals in U.S. courts.

Administration lawyers say that they may need to keep some evidence secret in order to protect intelligence-gathering operations, but defense attorneys argue that their clients should have the right to review the evidence against them. Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have drafted a rival bill requiring such disclosure.

As reported on Brit's show last night on Fox, only in extraordinary circumstances, and though terrorist suspects may not be able to hear all the evidence, their lawyers can.
