No matter what, anyone held in captivity by any government anywhere should at least:
- Be told the crime they are charged with, particularly;
- Be allowed access to the evidence against them;
- Be allowed complete, candid, private access to an attorney; and
- Be allowed a trial to determine the case against them and finalize the matter.
For me, these are pretty clear. The only one that gives me any pause is the privacy of access to an attorney. Because I know the rules and ethical standards applicable to attorneys, I believe that the chances are low that an attorney would use that privacy to further terror. Therefore, on that issue I must say the communications should be private.
