The role of military commissions in adjudicating the cases of suspected
terrorist detainees at Guantanamo and elsewhere was critically examined in
two House Judiciary Subcommittee hearings last July, the records of which
have just been published.
"My concern remains," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), who chaired the
hearings, "that we may be creating a system in which we try you in Federal
court if we have strong evidence, we try you by military commission if we
have weak evidence, and we detain you indefinitely if we have no
evidence."
"That is not a justice system," Rep. Nadler said.
