AN AUSTRALIAN Army brigadier claims the US and its allies are losing international support in the war on terror because of concerns about the way prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are treated.

Brigadier Gerard Fogarty, writing in the US Army quarterly magazine Parameters, said the US must scrap the controversial "second-class justice" military commission system to regain the moral high ground.

Australian David Hicks is one of the remaining detainees in the facility and his lawyers have consistently claimed he will not get a fair trial.

Brig. Fogarty, the army's director of workforce planning, suggested the US move trials of the Cuban detainees into the international arena by utilising United Nations-authorised tribunals. <snip>
