What is going on in Guantanamo, or rather why is it still going on? Although prisoners have been returning to their home countries (16 Saudis two days ago), there has been no suggestion of fairness to those held without trial, some for up to 6 years.
The sixth amendment states: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_Amendment_to_the_United%20_States_Constitution
