[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Er. A speedy trial has little to do with due process, which is defined as "a course of proceedings at law or carried out through agency rules or other devices that is in accordance with the law of the land." It means "fair" not "fast." Which it IS, whether you're happy about it or not. And I was talking about day-to-day activity, not during wartime. I don't believe there's whole lot of precedent supporting your assertion that the same rules of "speedy trial for prisoners" apply during wartime. He's being CHARGED as an enemy combatant... whether he IS or not will, we assume, come out at his eventual trial. I believe that once charged with a crime, unless it's something really minor, you stay in jail until trial. They may then sentence you to 'time served' and release you, assuming you're found guilty of something the penalty for which you would have served while waiting for trial. [/QB][/QUOTE]
