Tribunal Plan To Be Unveiled this Afternoon
Today the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services will hear from Alberto R. Gonzales (Attorney General of the United States) and Gordon R. England (Deputy Secretary of Defense). The purpose is “to continue to receive testimony on the future of military commissions in light of the Supreme Court decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld.”
Last week, I wrote the “Internal Battle On Tribunals” where I described the conflict that was taking place between the Uniformed JAG Officers against the Uniformed Combat Arms Officers allied with the Administration.
Also last week, I was able to provide a link to the draft Administration proposal that was for “internal use only.” You may download it here.
Known openly hostile members of the Committee, towards the Tribunal Plan, include Senators McCain, Grahem, Warner, Levin, Kennedy,
At 2:00 PM, we shall see if we won the initial battle and the Administration presents the Plan that I provided the download for.
