Parts of the Act you should know:Flash sign at judge?Punishment uncertain
Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 03:25 PM by ryanus
"(b) CONTEMPT.—A military commission under this
chapter may punish for contempt any person who uses any
menacing word, sign, or gesture in its presence, or who
disturbs its proceedings by any riot or disorder."

"May punish" seems a little vague to me.
