CRS ON MILITARY COMMISSIONS VS. CRIMINAL TRIALS Many of the procedural safeguards that are provided to a defendant in a criminal trial are not available to those tried in military commissions, or are present in attenuated or modified form. Thus, for example, military commissions offer no right to a speedy trial and may allow hearsay into evidence. These and numerous other distinctions between the two judicial frameworks were helpfully tabulated in a new report from the Congressional Research Service. See "Comparison of Rights in Military Commission Trials and Trials in Federal Criminal Court," November 19, 2009: Related information on the rights of detainees in a criminal prosecution was discussed in "Closing the Guantanamo Detention Center: Legal Issues," updated November 17, 2009: GREENHOUSE GAS POLICY IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES A comparative study of greenhouse gas control policies in several large industrial nations was presented in another report from the Congressional Research Service that has not been made readily available to the public. "All of the countries examined have in place, or are developing, some enforceable policies that serve to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," the CRS found. "Most are at some stage of making their programs more stringent." See "An Overview of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Control Policies in Various Countries," November 30, 2009: MARKET STRUCTURE OF THE HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRY Why do Americans have to pay far more for health care than do citizens of other countries who receive comparable or even superior service? A new report from the Congressional Research Service does not answer that question, but it does provide some insight into the role of the health insurance industry in generating those high costs. "Health costs appear to have increased over time in large part because of complex interactions among health insurance, health care providers, employers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, tax policy, and the medical technology industry. Reducing the growth trajectory of health care costs may require policies that affect these interactions," the CRS delicately said. See "The Market Structure of the Health Insurance Industry," Congressional Research Service, November 17, 2009:

LEGAL ISSUES SURROUNDING MILITARY COMMISSIONS The role of military commissions in adjudicating the cases of suspected terrorist detainees at Guantanamo and elsewhere was critically examined in two House Judiciary Subcommittee hearings last July, the records of which have just been published. "My concern remains," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), who chaired the hearings, "that we may be creating a system in which we try you in Federal court if we have strong evidence, we try you by military commission if we have weak evidence, and we detain you indefinitely if we have no evidence." "That is not a justice system," Rep. Nadler said. See "Legal Issues Surrounding the Military Commissions System," House Judiciary Committee, July 8, 2009: and "Proposals for Reform of the Military Commissions System," House Judiciary Committee, July 30, 2009: 2010 ARMY WEAPON SYSTEMS HANDBOOK The U.S. Army has published the latest edition of its Army Weapon Systems handbook, cataloging dozens of Army weapons with descriptive information, status updates, contractor relationships, and images. "The systems listed in this book are not isolated, individual products," the introduction says. "Rather, they are part of an integrated investment approach to make the Army of the future able to deal successfully with the challenges it will face." "We have received extraordinary funding support through wartime Overseas Contingency Operations funds, but they have only enabled us to sustain the current fight. We look forward to continued Congressional support to achieve our broad modernization goals." See "2010 Army Weapon Systems Handbook":
