Michaelangelica Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Posted July 10, 2006 Rear Admiral Harry Harris, the head of the Guantanamo base, was asked about the refusal to let inmates see evidence against them in an interview with American ABC television shown on Tuesday night. "It's not fundamentally fair in a criminal sense, but these are not criminals. These are detained enemy combatants," he said in presenting the US military and administration's case. http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200606/s1675163.htm Quote
