Historic first terror trial opens at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
Osama bin Laden's former driver is scheduled to stand trial on Monday in the first war crimes tribunal at America's terrorist prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The historic action comes nearly seven years after President Bush first moved to establish military commissions to try suspected Al Qaeda terrorists.
The special military commission process was designed to offer a stripped-down version of justice to illegal enemy combatants who, by engaging in terrorism, were said to have forfeited any right to more robust legal protections.
