    There is no justification to constitute a commission especially for trial the accuseds involved in 9/11 insurgency.
    It must be tried in the Federal Court that was legally justified stage for trial and punishment.
    but Millitary commission was set up for gaining requisited results of the case.In this way it is no fair trial.
    As it has come to surface,accuds persons refused to accepte the attornies offered by the trial commission and saying they have no trust in commission in regard to justice.


    It is duty of the prosecution to prepare a case and prove the allegations levelled by it against the accuds by supporting relevant documents and get the accuds punished.
    Shouldn't be used third methods,should be used coercive methods.


    He was kept under strict custody,tortured and waterboarding and in this way a confessional statement was obtained.
    It is justice it is no justice .Proceeding must be clean and procedure must be according to law.
    Trial in the Millitary Commission under the presiding over a millitary man is absolutely unjust.

    Suprem court of The United States has ruled which is not in favour of the Millitary Commssion but congress and president resurrected .


    Barak Obama and Macinare also agreed that Millitary Commission is not procedure adopted by the Bush administration.

    So it is essential for state department to change its course leading to free fair and impartial justice and the world should see the justice is being done in the case.

    Any defence of the "legal" proceedings discussed is ultimately silly. The world has seen the evidence, have heard the lies of the Bush administration and it's apologists, and has found their case to be wanting. Trying to mount a defence of the U.S. not using torture by saying, "the president says we don't, so we don't" is not going to work on anyone older than a seven year old. The president lied his way into the war, and the people will decide on whether waterboarding is terror. Wait, this just in, it is. Japanese soldiers were convicted of doing it to Americans during World War II. Who knew?
