Leaving aside the issue of statutory construction... "No they don't, the process appears to be arbitrary, probably due to the fact that next to no evidence exists against most of those captured, other then hearsay or unreliable accusations obtained via bribery and the like." The process was illy defined in the Supreme Courts decision, that is unquestionable. I also dont know how it carried out in practice, I doubt many people really do. But, im not going to criticize it as arbitraty and point out the defects in the applicable rules of Evidence before i actually know what those are. I can understand being upset at the process and wanting more information about it, but you cant criticize what you dont know. Do you know what rules of Evidence apply in such a proceeding? The Federal Rules of Evidence? Some set of Military Rules of Evidence? How does it define heasrsay? What are the hearsay exclusions and exceptions? I dont know the answers to those questions, I doubt that you do either. But I think that we can agree that we should know more about it.
