Semi-Transparent

Somehow I missed this, but US Senators Carl Levin and Lindsay Graham watched Khalid Sheikh Muhhamad's Combatant Status Review Tribunal hearing last weekend on closed-circuit television in an adjoining room. It doesn't quite raise the hearings to the level of a legal proceeding (the accused was not allowed a lawyer, and the press was not permitted). But the fact that that there were witnesses who were neither uniformed military officers nor members of the Bush administration is the most reassuring thing I've read about them to date.
