PRAGUE, Czech Republic - The White House on Tuesday said it disagreed with rulings by U.S. military judges to drop all war crimes charges against two Guantanamo prisoners facing trial, and that the Defense Department was considering whether to appeal.
“We don’t agree with the ruling on the military commissions,” White House spokesman Tony Fratto told reporters in Prague where President Bush is meeting with leaders of the Czech Republic.
The judges on Monday said they lacked jurisdiction under the strict definition of those eligible for trial by military tribunal under a law enacted last year.
