The military defense lawyer who is representing an Australian detainee held at Guantanamo Bay has openly criticized the government’s rules regulating military tribunals. Marine Corps Maj. Michael Mori said “The military commissions will not provide a full and fair trial. The commission process has been created and controlled by those with a vested interest only in convictions.” Mori said tribunal judges will be barred from dismissing charges filed by the Pentagon. He also criticized the appeals process and the message it sends to the international community. Mori warned “What’s to stop the North Koreans from arresting a [U.S.] contractor as a spy and trying him under the very rules we set up?”
