[edit] Not notable

I think it's judgement notability doesn't give notability to this guy. Only if, in the future, the Supreme Court decission on this case becomed an influential precedent, and that precedent were know by this guy's name, I think he could be notable. In the future. If that happens. --euyyn 15:46, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

The precedent is already known by his name. A google search on "Hamdan v. Rumsfeld" gets 227,000 hits. -- Geo Swan 22:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

So we would only have to wait to see if it becomes an influential precedent, not only a popular case... --euyyn 08:11, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] name in Arabic?

Do we know how to spell his name in Arabic? --Max power 11:08, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tribal stuff

What's the deal with this addition? Is this perhaps meant for Hamdan which is currently a redirect to this page? Cleduc 05:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] military commission not a "court"

1. I think it is a mistake to describe the military commission as a "court" -- it is not a court of law, with established rules of evidence, precedent, etc. The office of military commissions is still making up the rules as they go along.
2. I think it is a mistake to call Brownback and Allred judges. They are Presiding officers. Calling them judges implies the commission are courts of law with established rules of evidence, precedent, etc. Similarly, their rulings are not "court rulings".

• So I made some corrections. Cheers! Geo Swan 18:31, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] add image

Earlier I added an image I got from a Guantanamo publication. At the time I thought a DoD sketch artist drew the sketch. Now I am not so sure. So I excised it.
