"Stop the torture! Stop the lies! Come on people, open your eyes! " The idea that a person is innocent until proven guilty has been rejected by the Administration. These prisoners are being interrogated without access to lawyers, even though they may face the death penalty if they are found guilty. To justify its conduct and avoid granting these men the protections due prisoners of war under international law, the U.S. government tries to invent new categories that have no basis in international or any other kind of law -- one week they're "battlefield detainees," the next, "unlawful combatants."
