Bin Laden's ex-driver found guilty of supporting terrorism

Link here. Sorry if there is another thread somewhere but I couldn't see one.

Now, I was watching Newsnight (British news show) earlier and they interviewed the defence lawyer in this case. He said that a spokesperson - for the government or military, I cannot remember which - had stated prior to the trial that even if he had been found not guilty, they would continue to detain him at Guantanamo Bay because they had nowhere to send him. I don't suppose anyone could corroborate this? If it is true then it is absolutely outrageous in my opinion.

If true, that's amazing. And not in a good way. But we have to blame somebody, don't we?

I don't quite understand why they can't try these people in civilian courts. You're probably going to get the same verdict (assuming these people are actually guilty of their alleged crimes) and it avoids the bad rap associated with military tribunals. Any sort of propaganda victory that could have been achieved with these trials is now nullified by doubts over the fairness of the process.
