Answer:

c

Explanation:

Military commissions are criminal courts run by the U.S. armed forces. Traditionally, military commissions have been used to dispense battlefield justice – to try captured combatants for violations of the laws of war.

(D) The special court set up by the executive branch to try suspected terrorists.

Military commissions:

  • On November 13, 2001, President George W. Bush issued a Military Order creating the Guantanamo military commissions to trial some non-citizen terrorist detainees at the Guantanamo Bay jail.
  • Six of the eight military commission convictions to date resulted from plea bargains with the defendants.
  • Most frequently by U.S. federal courts, the appeals process resulted in the complete or partial reversal of several of the eight convictions.
  • Five cases are still pending before the commissions, and two more are on appeal.
  • One of these cases, United States v. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, et al., involves the prosecution of the inmates who are thought to be most culpable for the September 11 attacks. All five of those cases have yet to be tried in court.

Therefore, the correct answer is (D) the special court set up by the executive branch to try suspected terrorists.
