It sounds like we are about to have preordained or faux trials for 6 Guantanamo prisoners. And it just doesn't sound like American justice to me.
The major point of both of the articles at the following links is that the person who oversees both the defense and the prosecution (yes that is one person for both sides) is one William Haynes. And Haynes is being quoted as, and I’m paraphrasing of course: We ain’t gonna have no stinkin’ acquittals!
The actual quote can be found at TPM where former prosecutor, Col. Morris Davis, quoted Haynes as saying:
Wait a minute, we can't have acquittals. If we've been holding these guys for so long, how can we explain letting them get off? We can't have acquittals; we've got to have convictions.

I don’t know about you, but I find this whole scenario quite scary and surreal...added to everything else that this administration hath wrought.
