Legal scholars testified about the detention to terror suspects by the U.S.,
treatment of detainees, and legal opinions received by the Bush
administration on interrogation methods for detainees. The subcommittee also
discussed potential Bush administration witnesses in future hearing on
detainee treatment and interrogation techniques at facilities at Guantanamo

Philippe Sands, Professor, University College, London, Law, testified in the
US Congressional House hearing available for viewing in the C-Span video
above, that those in the US government involved in the torture agenda of the
Bush administration may be prosecuted for war crimes in other nations, even
if the US grants immunity, which the Military Commissions Act of 2006 has
already done.  Article below by Philippe Sands on some of these issues from
