“I thank the Senator. I believe care has been taken to comply with the Supreme Court cases. The Department of Defense has gotten the system in a way that has a combatant status review tribunal and an administrative review board, and there have been multiple hearings. The Department is giving these prisoners--whether they are prisoners of war, lawful or unlawful combatants who are being detained--the rights to which they are entitled. I really do believe they have. That is the only concern I have about the perception that might be out there, even around the world, that we are acting outside the rule of law. I do not believe that is so. ____________________”
