they are unknown. isn't that part of being perceived to be fair and being known to be fair and the history of an institution is an important thing to consider. i would agree with that. but i would say that we've made important strides in helping them be known. because these are taking place right now although they don't have to be but they are taking place in guantanamo, nothing in the military commissions act mentions guantanamo. they are not specific to any particular site. they can be convened somewhere else. they are happening in guantanamo in order for people to understand and can see the proceedings they are being transmitted by closed-circuit television to the continental united states for observation. the same rule applies in the military commission as it does in a court martial of a service member or in federal court. we have the same rule. the public and the media can go in and watch the proceedings but they can't record them. can't take pictures. can you have a sketch artist sketch them but
