There is no mention of sending them through a hearing here. It does however specifically mention not going through a tribunal because they have no evidence.

Dismiss it as orewellian finction if you must but I don't take my freedoms so lightly. I don't believe anyone should be denied the rights to a fair trial. Love your enemy as yourself. Now ask yourself if you were one of the people being held indefinatlly what would you want?
