Defense Counsel: Military Tribunals Should Be Open to the Public
Military trials of terrorism suspects should be public to ensure that the world sees the proceedings as fair, said the Air Force officer appointed as chief defense lawyer for the tribunals.
Col. Will Gunn said Thursday that he would push for any such trials to be as open as possible. "I see that as in the best interest of the nation as a whole," Gunn told reporters at the Pentagon. "We will be judged from the world community on whether or not the process was fair and just."
