The fog of war-crimes trials

The World
With the trial of Osama bin Laden drive Salim Hamdan underway in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, writer Jonathan Mahler compares the proceedings those in Nuremberg after World War II.

Mahler's book ?The Challenge: Hamdan v. Rumsfeld and the Fight Over Presidential Power? comes out next month.
