I think we need to provide a legal framework for that kind of administrative detention so that the detainees in administrative detention have certain due process rights to ensure they can know why they are there. that they can have an opportunity to rebut the charges. and that they can have access to counsel. Since the end of 2001. nearly 500 detainees have been transferred back to the custody of their home nations. A group of seven Chinese Uighers. who had committed no crime. were sent to Albania. where they are now held as refugees in poor conditions. Exactly one man. in the 6 years Guantanamo has existed as a detention facility. has been convicted of a crime. He. of course. is David Hicks. a kangaroo skinner from Australia. who pled guilty in order to get out of Guantanamo.
