As for what should have been done, I would have taken the civilian court route. What really bothers me is that we've spend 7 years and millions of dollars to convict a lowly driver in a kangaroo court...and all he got was 66 months....so retarded.

There are reasons why civilian courts are not used and I don't have the time to look them up. I do know one reason is because we are holding them as enemy combatants we have to use military tribunals (or what ever they are called). I also think even after his 5 months are up Bush will hold him as an enemy combatant as long as he is president. I agree what the judge said was wierd and maybe he had his agenda. They may also use his words to call for a new trial as they maybe able to show the judge showed a bias attitude. I would call military courts a kangaroo court as most do a good job and these guys have served our country. I have seen plenty of kangaroo civilian courts.
