The Whistle Blowers and Gitmo


Question:Will the soldiers, civilians, prosecutors that testify against the military be given whistle blower status?

Answer:Maybe, but this will all probably come at a later date. First and foremost see if the people that deserve to be in prison are prosecuted. This might be a challenge given that many were as some reports state, were tortured. After we find out who needs to stay in jail and who can be set free we must decide as a Nation if we must prosecute those that committed the torture. Many Whistleblower lawyers says such right might very well be necessary before anyone decides to testify.


Question:Will those prisoners that are released be able to sue the United States Military or Government?

Answer:Yes, according the the laws of the United States, any person or persons may bring a case against the Federal Government. Of course the former-prisoners might join together to file a Class Action Lawsuit. Class action Lawyers based in Los Angeles, Ringler, Kearney, Alvarez LLP might be an option for those former prisoners.
