I hope they've also laid down strict laws regarding the courtroom interpreters and translators. This is one of the weak links in civilian terrorism trials, because it frequently involves using foreign-born Arabic or other translators who are sympathetic to the defendant and try to do everything to favor him in their translation. I imagine in military tribunals, more care will be taken to find trustworthy intepreters. I hope so, at least.

The military has some Arabic translators. They would have have been schooled at DLI (Defense Language Institute).

Assuming an eventual sentencing, where are these dirtbags going to be incarcerated? Even if it's a death sentence, they'll be held until the execution is carried out. I can't imagine they'll drag them to the States? Will they hold them on Cuba?
