No Military Trial of Osama bin Laden's Driver
by TChris
At least for now, a military commission will not be able to hear the trial of Osama bin Laden's driver.
"Unless and until a competent tribunal determines that petitioner is not entitled to protections afforded prisoners of war under Article 4 of the Geneva Convention ... of Aug. 12, 1949, he may not be tried by military commission for the offenses with which he is charged," U.S. District Judge James Robertson said in his ruling.
