<<One of our Western values, and in my opinion one of our proudest Western values, that needs to take hold in the Middle East is the concept that a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Only Israel has made any real progress there with this concept, albeit imperfectly. So to answer your question the Red Cross doesn't actually have to "determine" innocence; it's presumed, isn't it?>>>

Well how many clients can an Attorney serve at once and what would be the cost of depositions,travel,secretaries, courtrooms, judges, etc.
There were 40000 prisoners, now down to about 8000, so perhaps only 800 lawyers and 80 judges could do the job.
Might take a few years.

What is most scary is that when the job is finished there would be 800 surplus lawyers. All able to speak Arabic.
