Some friends of mine brought my attention to the new book Honor Bound: Inside the Guantanamo Trials, which explains military law and the inside story of these military commissions. The author, Kyndra Rotunda, is a former JAG lawyer who served on the prosecution team in Guantanamo Bay and as a legal advisor to an elite team of war crimes investigators. Through a series of entertaining first-hand accounts, Rotunda discusses and analyzes the laws governing the War on Terror, the Geneva Conventions, and the laws related to detainees held in Cuba.
Now I am fortunate enough to have books sent to me all the time, and while almost all are worth reading, there’s only so much time in the day. So I’m perusing it right now, but here are some highlights. Remember, this is coming from a first hand source involved in the legal affairs of these detainees. Now, why isn’t this reported? I encourage you all to join me in reading Honor Bound – after all, it’s books like these that help arm us with information as we argue with the liberals who care more about terrorist’s rights than those of Americans. And that includes our own Supreme Court.
