UN report on Guantanamo Bay detention center
"that the persons held at Guantanamo Bay are entitled to challenge the legality of their detention before a judicial body and to obtain release if detention is found to lack a proper legal basis. The continuing detention of all persons held at Guantanamo Bay amounts to arbitrary detention, they state, adding that -- where criminal proceedings are initiated against a detainee -- the executive branch of the United States Government operates as judge, prosecutor and defence counsel in violation of various guarantees of the right to a fair trial."
Scott McCellan, White House Press Secretary, responded to the report today in his press briefing. He focused on the United Nations decision not to go to Guantanamo Bay, with two responses: 1st response and 2nd response.

Quadrennial Defense Review Report
Every four years the Department of Defense releases the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), which is required by 10 U.S.C. 118. This code requires the secretary of defense to" conduct a comprehensive examination ... of the national defense strategy, force structure, force modernization plans, infrastructure, budget plan, and other elements of the defense program and policies of the United States with a view toward determining and expressing the defense strategy of the United States and establishing a defense program for the next 20 years." This is the first QDR conducted in during a time or war, for quick information from the Department of Defense check out the QDR web site. This site links to the QDR from 2001 and 1997, as well as other related items, such as the National Defense Strategy.

State of the Union address
Last night George W. Bush gave his fifth State of the Union address. If you would rather watch it, you can watch using Windows Media or Real Media. Want to see the Democrat's response? C-SPAN has it on video, as does the Washington Post. The C-SPAN site even has the State of the Union addresses all the way back to Harry S. Truman's address in 1945, given the day after Franklin Delano Roosevelt was laid to rest.
