Well, this was bound to happen. I presume it took so long because the lawyers were only assigned recently?

Is there anybody who actually agrees with these people being held? Surely the right to a fair trial still stands in America?

But they aren't in the USA, they are in Cuba. And if the UN say that international law still applies in Cuba - Bush is going to move them to the moon.

Edit: I just realised that link was rather old. This one is more recent, and makes for easier reading as well.
