Israeli lawyers and military law experts filed a brief supporting Guantánamo detainees suing the Bush administration over one of its most controversial war-on-terrorism policies. They argue that the United States can safeguard national security while giving presumed dangerous captives access to U.S. courts.
Says Haifa Law Professor Emanuel Gross, a retired Israeli Army colonel and military judge who contributed to the brief: ``The issue here is, having been engulfed with terrorist activities from the beginning, from 1948, we learned a good lesson -- if you want to remain a democracy you must be willing to let them have their day in court.''
