So was this tribunal held? No. What is your point??? The U.S. military issued regulations in 1997 that set out detailed procedures for such tribunals. Under these regulations, the tribunals consist of three commissioned officers. The regulations also provide that persons whose status is to be determined shall: be advised of their rights at the beginning of their hearings; be allowed to attend all open sessions and will be provided with an interpreter if necessary; be allowed to call witnesses if reasonably available, and to question those witnesses called by the tribunal; have a right to testify or otherwise address the tribunal; and not be compelled to testify before the tribunal. When did all this happen? Or maybe, could it be, that it did NOT YET HAPPEN, Derek? Face it - No such "competent tribunal" convened and decided on the POW status of detainees as defined in the paragraph above that you posted. The LAW SUPPORTS US POLICY. I would love to see how you reached that conclusion, especially after posting the above paragraph, and knowing full well that NO SUCH TRIBUNAL YET TOOK PLACE.
