H6166

David Rivkin a U.N. Human rights expert says the bill is misunderstood and that in fact detainees can challenge their status as combatants.
  1. Detainees can challenge their status in a military tribunal.
  2. After that they can appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals
  3. After that they can petition U.S. Supreme Court.
  4. If they are found guilty the commission report will be reviewed.
  5. The detainee can appeal to a 3 member panel
  6. After that then can appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals
  7. After that they can challenge the decision in the U.S. Supreme Court.
The funny thing is that all of this information can be found in the bill itself.
