Terrorist in military commission have just about all of the same rights as terrorist tried in federal courts. Plus since 9/11 the conviction rate in military commissions is 15% only 3 out of 20. The conviction rate in civilian courts is around 90%



Rights in military commission trials



Presumption of Innocence

Before a vote is taken on the

findings, the military judge must

instruct the commission members

“that the accused must be presumed

to be innocent until his guilt is

established by legal and competent

evidence beyond reasonable doubt.”



Right to Remain Silent

Sections a, b, and d of Article 31,

UCMJ, is expressly made inapplicable

to military commission trials under

the MCA, as amended. These

provide that no person subject to

the UCMJ may compel any person to

incriminate himself or interrogate an

accused without first informing him

of his right to remain silent, and that

statements obtained in violation of

the above or through other unlawful

inducement may not be received in

evidence against him in a trial by

court-martial.



Effective Assistance of Counsel

10 U.S.C. § 948k.

The accused is entitled to select one

“reasonably available” military

counsel to represent him.

10 U.S.C. §§ 948c, 948k.

The accused may also hire a civilian

attorney who

1. is a U.S. citizen,

2. is admitted to the bar in any state,

district, or possession,



Statements elicited through torture

or cruel, inhuman, or degrading

treatment prohibited by 42 U.S.C.

§ 2000dd are inadmissible except

against a person accused of torture

or such treatment, regardless of

whether the statement was made

prior to the enactment of that

provision







Freedom from Unreasonable Searches and Seizures

Not provided.



But in federal court. The courts have ruled:

United States v. Barona, 56 F.3d 1087

(9th Cir. 1995).

Searches of alien property overseas

are not necessarily protected by the

Fourth Amendment.

United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez,

494 U.S. 259 (1990).

The Fourth Amendment's warrant

requirement does not govern

searches conducted abroad by United

States agents.

In re Terrorist Bombings of U.S.

Embassies in East Africa, 552 F.3d 157



Protection Against Double Jeopardy

“No person may, without his

consent, be tried by a military

commission [under the MCA] a

second time for the same offense.”



Right to Trial by Impartial Jury

Military commission members must

take an oath to perform their duties

faithfully.



10 U.S.C. § 949g.

The accused may make one

peremptory challenge, and may

challenge other members for cause.How will Obama handle enemy combatants now that 68 percent of the US population disagrees with his policies?
you are mistaken if you think he even knows what the populace wants.
68% of Americans are anti-american extremists? That's over half! What the f*ck are they waiting for then?How will Obama handle enemy combatants now that 68 percent of the US population disagrees with his policies?
Reusing catheters must be affecting your thinking process. You are delusional.
This is the problem he faces. The extremist that helped get him elected by hook or crook with his promise to fundamentally change the USA, now want action and the PEOPLE are against him.



What to do, be roasted by the PEOPLE or be SKewered by the EXTREMIST.
Obama is only capable of giving us a horse and pony show. This man is either very stubborn or he believes he is the savior with great intellect and will plow straight ahead.
How can I seriously answer your question when I am LMAO at your avatar and name?

Fortunately, I think that the American people have begun to put the hurt on Obaama and his minions.

We can only hope.
He will do what he always does...what he wants and to hell with AMERICA! MOST of America does not want health care government controlled insurance but he is back pedaling that too. HE will NEVER LISTEN and get the point. November MIGHT make him listen since BROWN didn't convince him.
What is an enemy combatant? Isn't that something GW made up for convenience?



They are reinstating the Patriot Act if you care.
Since 94% agree with his policy on combatants it doesn't really matter does it.





P.S. 87% of people think you are a troll.
Well, I take it you're looking for something along the lines of:



"He'll make them citizens because he can count on their vote, since he wants to destroy America like they do".



Also... federal government approval is not the same as Obama's approval. Congress always brings former down, with any president.
The correct way. That's why he is there to make the right and though decisions that will preserve our values regardless if the mob wants blood...



I just don't understand how it makes any logic for people to think that to defeat Islamic terrorist we need to be just like them, terrorist and cold blooded killers...
He's planning to jet off to Indonesia in a few weeks!!!
From his speech to the nation he will move ahead and try the enemy combatants in the US court system. I think he has an agenda and believes that with 3 years left in his first, and hopefully his only term, that all will be forgotten by 2012. I don't believe he is as concerned about the elections of 2010 because he is not involved.
They're recruiting kids in high school, didn't you know?

I'm not kidding, I'll find the link.



Aren't you saying that 68% of the US population are now classified as "enemy combatants?" Maybe I misunderestimated your question.
Even at this lowest dip in his approval ratings, more people still approve than disapprove. Did you just make up that figure? I notice you provide no link.
His *audacity* will pay NO MIND to what America thinks because 0 is all about 0!
Military Comissions Act of 2006 gives permission by law to try these people in military court without issuing them their Miranda Rights.



We just want the law to be followed regarding these people. Why doesn't Obama follow the law regarding this?
