I will quibble with one point. Each one should have an opportunity to demand

Sure is. And it makes sense, why waste time & effort on giving hearings
to people who don't want them?


.... How you cope with the situation if every prisoner held demands a
hearing before the tribunal is another matter.

Are you asking me? I'd give each one a hearing of course... but then if
it were up to me, I already would have... it's outrageous to imprison
people for years trying to avoid the issue of finding out for real if
they should be prisoners...

Just like I would have made it clear up and down the whole chain of
command that we are the good guys, and good guys don't torture prisoners.

Hey, if they all demand hearings, maybe we can draft some lawyers
