Listening In on Tribunals

Though scratchy and of poor quality, hours of audio recordings obtained by National Public Radio provide a glimpse at the Guantánamo Bay tribunal proceedings that affirmed two detainees' classification as enemy combatants. The two men are only allowed to call as witnesses the others with whom they were arrested, and the unclassified evidence presented against them is slim. The tapes, made by the US Navy, also give some idea of the conditions under which the men are held.

With this link to the NPR report, you can also click onto the recordings, listen, and (again) decide for yourself who has no brain! The original NPR broadcast is also audible through a link on this page.
