Bush Does Not Believe In Justice

Since declaring war on the abstract concept of "terror", Bush & Co. have
illegally detained hundreds of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. These prisoners
have typically been held without charge, without access to lawyers, consuls
or even family members.

Horrified by the thought that some of the detainees may actually be found innocent during an election year, Bush has set up a good old-fashioned lynch mob.

Australian terror suspect David Hicks, detained at Guantanamo Bay for over two years now, has been earmarked to be among the first detainees to face a military trial. Hicks was recently appointed a US military lawyer, Marine Corps Major Michael Mori, who has launched an unprecented attack on the trial process.

"The military commissions will not provide a full and fair trial," Maj Mori told reporters in Washington.

"The commission process has been created by those only with a vested interest in conviction."

Major Mori was asked if his criticism was levelled at his commander-in-chief, President Bush, who ultimately signed off on the military commission.

"Well if I'm criticising the rules, obviously the people who signed the two military commission orders and the nine instructions, they created those, but I'm not attacking anyone personally here."

Mori said he was concerned other nations might in the future use similar legal processes against American citizens, something he said the US government would find unacceptable.
