A Florida congressman is hoping to drive the last nail into the coffin of the U.S. justice system for Guantanamo detainees.
Republican Representative Tom Rooney, a former military prosecutor, this week introduced a bill mandating that the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "remains open indefinitely" and requiring that "individuals detained at the facility be tried only by Military Commission."
But other former military prosecutors think Rooney's position would be a mistake of epic proportions.
