Human rights organizations knew that Obama had prepared the way, in public-relations terms, for some criminal trials – talking up the “supermax” security of some US prisons, and noting that other terrorists have successfully been tried by America’s justice system. (Other democracies, such as the United Kingdom and Spain, always try terrorism suspects, including alleged Al Qaida members, in ordinary criminal trials).
人权组织已然知晓奥巴马会用一套华丽的公关说辞为某些刑事审判铺路——首先大肆赞扬美国一些监狱的“超高级”安全规格，然后指出其他恐怖分子已经成功接受了美国司法体系的审讯。（而其他民主国家，比如英国和西班牙，通常的做法就是在普通刑事法庭审讯恐怖嫌疑犯，甚至包括某些基地组织嫌疑人。）
