His other four-star assignments include being the 6th Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from October 1, 2001 to August 12, 2005 and as Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Southern Command from September 8, 2000 to September 30, 2001.

www.spirituallysmart.com www.spirituallysmart.com Gonzales Questions Habeas Corpus By Robert Parry 19 Jan 2007 In one of the most chilling public statements ever made by a US Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales questioned whether the US Constitution grants habeas corpus rights of a fair trial to every American.

Rumsfeld, Chief Justice John Roberts was part of a unanimous panel overturning the district court ruling and upholding military tribunals set up by the Bush administration for trying terrorism suspects known as enemy combatants. Circuit Judge A. Raymond Randolph, writing for the court, ruled that Hamdan, a driver for al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, [12] could be tried by a military court because: 1. the military commission had the approval of Congress; 2. the Third Geneva Convention is a treaty between nations and as such it does not confer individual rights and remedies enforceable in US courts; 3. even if the Convention could be enforced in US courts, it would not be of assistance to Hamdan at the time because, for a conflict such as the war against al-Qaeda (considered by the court as a separate war from that against Afghanistan itself) that is not between two countries, it guarantees only a certain standard of judicial procedure without speaking to the jurisdiction in which the prisoner must be tried.
