Meanwhile, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has given a new reason why Guantanamo prisoners have not been brought to trial. In an interview with the Associated Press, Gonzales said prisoners have not been tried because of numerous legal challenges from their lawyers. In response, Center for Constitutional Rights President Michael Ratner said: “We’ve been trying for five years to get the majority of the detainees in federal court. They’ve resisted from the first day they took people to Guantanamo.”
