- Summary
- "The legal landscape of the Nation's fight against terrorism remains unsettled. Remarkably, the questions still unanswered are where and how captured terrorism suspects should be brought to trial. The government presently lacks any clear or consistent policy. Shortly after the September 11th attacks, President Bush announced the creation of special new military commissions to be available to try certain non-citizens suspected of terrorism. The establishment of the new commissions was and continues to be contentious, yet they have not seen much use to date. The rollout of the commissions was bogged down for more than two years while the Department of Defense hammered out their rules and procedures behind closed doors. Four suspects held in Guantánamo, all non-U.S. citizens captured abroad, were eventually charged and have been brought before the commissions in initial, pre-trial sessions. But all commission proceedings have since been halted pending the outcome of litigation in the federal courts after a district court found that the commission's rules violated military and international law. This report aims to advance this debate and, along the way, to identify areas in need of congressional action by exploring the central question at stake: How should we reconcile the competing demands of secrecy, fairness, and accurate decision-making in terrorism trials surrounding habeas corpus? In addition to written sources, this report draws from over twenty detailed interviews with a range of individuals possessing extensive first-hand experience in terrorism investigations and prosecutions. Those interviewed include lead prosecutors and defense counsel involved in the four most significant terrorism cases of the 1990s: the 1993 World Trade Center bombing trial; the trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and others for the so-called "Day of Terror" plot, involving a failed scheme to blow up vaious New York City landmarks on a single day; the trial of Ramzi Youself for the "Bojinka" plot, a failed Al Qaeda plan to blow up a dozen airliners crossing the Pacific over a 24-hour period; and the trial of four Al Qaeda members for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Current and former officials from the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigations, and Central Intelligence Agency were also consulted."--
