US kangaroo courts were a "terrible mistake"

lundi 6 février 2023 à 02:17

Dubya's solicitor-general, who argued in the Supreme Court in favor of trying the prisoners in Guantánamo in "military commissions" (kangaroo courts), now says that that was a terrible mistake. The US should have brought them to a real US court for trial.

He also says it was self-defeating to ask for the death penalty for any of them, and that the US should offer them plea deals now.

I think that after the many years in prison and torture they have suffered, the US should offer them a plea deal for time already served, and let them go.
