Major Mori told reporters in Australia earlier this month that the tribunal process offends his understanding of justice. His client was captured more than two years ago in Afghanistan, allegedly fighting with the Taleban. He has been held without charge ever since at the U.S. Navy's Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba, and is expected to be among the first group of detainees to be tried by a military tribunal. "I've been outspoken in the media and that's one avenue, I think, to raise awareness about the unfair commission process," says Mr. Mori, who is convinced his client will not get a fair hearing.
