Calling Miss Cleo...
Let's see - people in the government (who don't want to reveal their names) are saying 6 people (whose names haven't been released) are being charged with crimes (which aren't being revealed) that will qualify them to be tried before a military tribunal. I am so goddam dizzy.
President Bush has designated six captives in what he has called the war on terrorism as eligible to be tried before U.S. military commissions, defense officials said on Thursday.The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, declined to identify the six individuals, saying no charges have yet been brought against them. The next key step is for the Pentagon to decide whether the men will be brought to trial before commissions and on what charges, the officials said.
The officials said Bush made the determination because he had reason to believe that each of the so-called enemy combatants -- among the more than 600 being held at a U.S. military prison in Cuba -- was a member of the al Qaeda network or was otherwise involved in terrorism directed against the United States.
