U.S. SEEKS DEATH PENALTY without any LEGAL representation ~ SIX 9/11 SUSPECTS CHARGED

This is outrageous injustice! The Pentagon has announced today it will seek the death penalty for the six suspects charged in the 9/11 attacks. I say injustice because these detainees get no LEGAL representation. So basically these hearings are purely ONE SIDED!

So now what's to stop all other countries from passing bullshit legislation like this and capture, prosecute and kill our U.S. citizens or U.S. miliary under suspicion of anything they fricken want... Is this the U.S. way of setting an EXAMPLE for the world to follow! We're no different from North Korea, Sudan, Myanmar, China, Russia etc. etc. Click here to watch "Loose Change" for an eye opener.

This goes against the International Law written in the Geneva Conventions. But because the U.S. Congress passed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (note: The majority of congressional Democrats voted against this and the majority of congressional Republicans voted YES click here to see for yourself) the United States now has the right to prosecute whomever they choose!!! Included in this new legislation IMMUNITY for Bush, Cheney and anybody else involved. "The MCA’s restricted definitions arguably would exempt certain U.S. officials who have implemented or had command responsibility for coercive interrogation techniques from war crimes prosecutions. This amendment is designed to protect U.S. government perpetrators of abuses during the "war on terror" from prosecution."

The Guardian.co.uk wrote an article today titled, "Pentagon Charges Sept. 11 suspects". The following are a few excerpts:

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon has charged six detainees at Guantanamo Bay with murder and war crimes in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks, it was announced Monday. Officials said they'll seek the death penalty in what would be the first trials under the terrorism-era military tribunal system.

``These charges allege a long term, highly sophisticated, organized plan by al-Qaida to attack the United States of America,'' Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Hartmann, the legal adviser to the tribunal system, told reporters. He added that the charges have been sworn ``against six individuals alleged to be responsible for the planning and execution of the attacks'' which occurred on Sept. 11, 2001 and killed nearly 3,000 people.

The military will recommend that the six men be tried together before a military tribunal. But the cases may be clouded because of recent revelations that Mohammmed was subject to a harsh interrogation technique known as waterboarding - which critics call torture.

The men would be tried in the military tribunal system that was set up by the administration shortly after the start of the counterterror war and has been widely criticized for it rules on legal representation for suspects, hearings behind closed doors and past allegations of inmate abuse at Guantanamo. Original rules allowed the military to exclude the defendant from his own trial, permitted statements made under torture, and forbade appeal to an independent court; but the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the system in 2006 and a revised plan set up after Congress enacted a new law has included some additional rights.
