I also understand that almost 300 noted legal scholars, including President Obama's former constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe, have signed a letter expressing their outrage at his continued imprisonment and the conditions. See the news article written by Ed Pilkington in the Guardian.co.uk on Sunday April 10, 2011, giving further references at:

See the laws relative to the law of habeas and the military at: http://www.usconstitution. net/consttop_mlaw.html
. The actual discussion specific to habeas is in the middle of it. It
has referenced that military justice could possibly be appealed even out of the civilian courts to the Supreme Court in some cases. I think some good attorneys
with the capability and resources could and should pursue this course for him. The Writ of Habeas Corpus seems perfect for the use
of it.
At any rate if anyone has any knowledge why it couldn't or shouldn't be tried, please comment.
