The ultimate farce of the Guantanamo trials

I am not keeping up with the Hamdan trial closely enough to intelligently comment on the specifics, but I would like to point one thing out.

Whatever the result of the "trial system," whether innocent or guilty, the US's plan is to keep Hamdan detained indefinitely.

The Guantanamo "trials" are not about the detainees. They are about trying to lay a veneer of legitimacy on the policy. That's why the system is being so rigged for guilty verdicts.
