Tanks Appear at Anti-War Protest in Westwood - Fallujah
West?
http://la.indymedia.org/
LOS ANGELES, Armored tanks showed up at an anti-war protest in
front of the federal building in Westwood.
The tanks circled the block twice, the second time parking
themselves in the street and directly in front of the area where
most of the protesters were gathered.
Enraged, some of the people attempted to block the tanks, but
police quickly cleared the street.
The people continued to protest the presence of the tanks, but
after about ten minutes the tanks drove off. It is unclear as to
why the tanks were deployed to this location.

Combatant Trials Cannot Continue in Current Form, Judge
Orders
By Carol D. Leonnig
Washington Post Staff Writer
Military trials set up to determine the guilt or innocence of enemy
combatants imprisoned at a U.S. military prison in Cuba are
unlawful and cannot continue in their current form, a federal judge
ruled this afternoon.
In a major setback to the Bush administration, U.S. District Judge
James Robertson found that detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
may legally be prisoners of war entitled to the protections of
international law and should be allowed a hearing on whether they
qualify for those protections.
Robertson determined that the military commissions the Pentagon
created after the Sept. 11, 2001, invasion of Afghanistan, to try
and sentence the detainees are not lawful or proper. He found that
commission rules allowed that the first person scheduled to go to
trial on charges of terrorist acts could be denied access to
evidence and excluded from some commission sessions, in violation
of military law.
