Combatant Status Review Tribunal Hearing Room
[Clive Stafford Smith, Lawyer for Guantanamo detainees, including Moazzam Begg] You have no rights! You have no right to a lawyer. You have no meaningful right to witnesses. You don't really know what the charges are and you certainly don't know what the secret evidence is against you.
[Rear Adm. James McGarrah, Office of Administrative Review for Detained Enemy Combatants] They may not ever know! But that doesn't eliminate the opportunity they have to make a case for why, if they were returned in the future, why they would not continue to pose a threat.
[Clive Stafford Smith, Lawyer for Guantanamo detainees, including Moazzam Begg] Many of my clients are found not guilty ...
at the CSRT Tribunals.
And then the Military thinks that doesn't sound so good.
They were being called "Not Enemy Combatants, NEC ...
but now they are NLEC, which means "No Longer Enemy Combatants," because we want to say they were guilty to begin with, but now they've had a change of heart so they're not guilty anymore. But we were right in the first place.
