 Wed Sep 06, 2006 1:09 pm Bush to unveil new plan for Guantanamo detainees |
|
| CNN wrote: | | WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush is set to offer legislation Wednesday to change the law to allow military tribunals to try detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. |
| Quote: | The president's proposal comes on the same day the Pentagon issued a new directive on detainee treatment.
"All detainees shall be treated humanely and in accordance with U.S. law, the law of war, and applicable U.S. policy," the directive says.
"All persons subject to his directive shall observe ... at a minimum the standards articulated in Common Article 3 to the Geneva Conventions of 1949," it says. |
