FRIDAY'S NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS
The New York Times: Guantanamo: U.S. Charges an Australian With Fighting for Taliban. David Hicks, an Australian, will be tried in front of a military tribunal in August. I previously wrote about his lawyer, Marine Major Michael Mori, in my post with the highest traffic to date, "THIS MARINE HAS BALLS" (on my old blog).
USA Today: Document Warns Guantanamo Employees Not to Talk ("The document, obtained by USA TODAY, says that soldiers and interrogators are not required to give defense attorneys statements about the ''personal treatment of detainees'' or any ''failure to report actions of others.'' It also says that refusing to cooperate with defense attorneys ''will not impact your . . . career.''), Guantanamo Captive Faces Military Tribunal.
The Washington Post: Use of Dogs to Scare Prisoners Was Authorized, 3 Charges Placed Against [Guantanamo] Detainee, Bush: U.S. Expected to Follow Law On Prisoners (regarding the recent uncovered DOJ/DOD memo delineating ways to break the law during interrogation and avoid judicial review), Pentagon Reinforces Policy for Reporting Deaths of Detainees.
