Breaking: U.S. Could Let Detainees Plead Guilty, Be Executed Without Trials

06 Jun 2009 - The Obama administration is considering a change in the law
for the military tribunals at the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, that would
clear the way for prisoners facing the death penalty to plead guilty without
a full trial. The provision could permit military prosecutors to avoid
airing the details of brutal interrogation techniques torture. The proposal,
in a draft of legislation that would be submitted to Congress, has not been
publicly disclosed. It was circulated to officials under restrictions
requiring secrecy. [*Note: The New York Times has already changed its
original headline.*]
