Indeed. There's still a lot to be corrected, and the system as a whole wasn't perfect to begin with. But it's also last bit, which has been corrected, is the context of the submission. It's of course important to step back and assess the system as a whole: it's also important to recognize when smaller parts are working, if nothing else to remind ourselves that the system as a whole is worth saving.

(I would add, created at will and could be created again in the future). and this: "the system as a whole is worth saving" a little incompatible? I mean, what is the point of the system, if you can create a parallel one whenever you feel the existing one is not convenient?
- JumpCrisscross 9y ago> what is the point of the system, if you can create a parallel one whenever you feel the existing one is not convenient? This is hyperbole. Nobody can create a military tribunal “whenever they want”. Specific circumstances led to Gitmo’s creation, circumstances not easily replicable domestically. American courts are still, by and large, impartial, independent and fair.
