Writes Ron Unz:
1:29 pm on September 22, 2012Yesterday’s New York Times carried a long story about the problems which America and our Afghan government allies are facing in resolving certain legal issues, especially with regard to the transfer of prisoners.
As President Karzai indicated, one of the most vexing difficulties is that—unlike America—the Afghan constitutional system has no provisions allowing the indefinite detention of prisoners without trial or charges. Efforts are being made to clear this roadblock.
