The Guardian refers to the Guantanamo military proceedings against Britons held prisoner there as 'backdoor trials':

...documents reveal the Britons will be presumed to be enemy combatants by the handpicked US military officers hearing their cases before they start, have limited rights to call witnesses, have no lawyer, and that hearsay evidence can be used against them.

The documents reveal that prisoners have no right to a lawyer, only to a US military representative, who can inform his superiors of what the prisoner tells him. Furthermore the tribunal will start with the assumption that the US government case against the Britons is correct, the documents reveal: "There is a rebuttable presumption that the government evidence ... is genuine and accurate."

This is the land of the free and home of the brave?
