TalkLeft on Military Tribunals

TalkLeft's Jeralyn Merritt is interviewed by Vincent Carroll in the Aug. 14th edition of the Rocky Mountain News. Says she:

They say the Constitution doesn't apply at Guantanamo. Therefore you don't have the right to a lawyer if you can't afford one or to even effective assistance. They're expecting these lawyers to not only fund their own transportation back and forth to Guantanamo, they're also expecting them to pay for their own time and then on top of that to pay for their security clearance.

I had the pleasure of meeting her at Saturday's Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash. Very cool.

Correction Article was published Aug. 14th. Text above changed to correct date.
