The Pentagon has resumed trying foreign prisoners before military commissions at Guantanamo Bay. The commissions began last week for the first time since their suspension after President Obama took office. Congress expanded prisoners’ rights in October, but critics say the system still falls short of meeting the Geneva Conventions. The Obama administration meanwhile appears to have settled on an Illinois prison to hold dozens of foreign prisoners once Guantanamo is closed. The Washington Post reports the Obama administration intends to assume control of the Thomson Correctional Center by late winter.
