The report comes as the United States is set to restart the tribunals with the trial of Australian prisoner David Hicks.
U.S. officials have announced plans to try 60 to 80 of the nearly 400 foreign captives held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, under a new system of war crimes tribunals authorized by the U.S. Congress last year.
