President Barack Obama to Revive Military Trials for Some Terror Detainees

President Barack Obama has announced plans to renew military trials for some detainees still being held at Guantanamo Bay but he also ensured the controversial practice would come with improved conditions.

In one of his first acts as president Obama ordered the military trials come to an end, calling them flawed and unjust but on Friday he reversed that order after saying the trials were too important to not carry out. Obama did say the renewal of trials would come with several reforms most notably no evidence gathered through “torture” techniques would be admissible, restrictions on hearsay evidence and a defendant will be allowed to select their own attorney if they wish.

Obama had targeted the practice of military trials for detainees during his presidential campaign, calling the commissions “an enormous failure” and vowing to end them once in office.

Several civil liberties groups have been angered by Obama’s decision to reverse course on the matter yet the President, in a statement released on Friday, backed his decision by declaring the military commissions were appropriate for trying enemies as long as a legitimate legal framework was in place.
