Defense Official: Good afternoon. My two colleagues and I are from the
Office of General Counsel, Department of Defense. And we're here to tell
you about the eight military commission instructions that the general
counsel of the Department of the Defense has issued.
These instructions were prepared as part of the process to be ready in case
the president decides that it's appropriate to try any captured enemy
combatants by military commission.
We previously issued a draft instruction on Crimes and Elements that we had
circulated for public comment, and one of the eight instructions, the Crimes
and Elements instructions, is now final.
[Press Q & A follows]
