Ali Hamza al Bahlul's refusal to participate in his 'trial' leaves the Guantanamo tribunal in the unenviable position of showing judicial fairness within 90 days. Accused of preparing recruiting materials supporting terrorism and a video glorifying an attack in 2000, Bahlul asserts that his actions are not crimes. If he is a declared enemy, can there be judicial impartiality by a tribunal of the enemy?
