There is a reason this picture won’t go away ~ one word - torture. Try to airbrush away kneeling, cowed, shaved, publicly displayed prisoners. It turns out people always see torture. 20 Years Later, the Story Behind the Guantánamo Photo That Won’t Go Away.

The point that Guantanamo pleas fundamentally enable victim participation, acknowledgement and empowerment appears to be entirely lost on the parallel litigation to prevent this process from happening. Victim centered justice is not delivered by the government’s appeal.
Hundreds of additional victims are now interested in providing impact testimony. Trivett says he'll likely need additional time beyond the ten months outlined in the guide.

Encourage reading this thread on the 9/11 pleas including affirmation of fundamental IHL rules and distinctions.
McCall reads p.35 of the trial guide script: "A killing is in violation of the law of war if the killing is done by employing a means or method that is prohibited by the law of war..."
