57. Here is another link which clearly does make that argument.

"Military commission proceedings that ignore the Constitution fly in the face of over 200 years of law establishing the right to a fair and public trial," said Denny LeBoeuf, Director of the ACLU's John Adams Project. "The flawed military commission proceedings cannot possibly deliver real justice, and any outcome of this process will immediately be suspect."

Happy now? I really do have to leave this time or I am going to be late, but I provided your link and it clearly states that military commission hearings violate the right to public trial so now you can no longer deny that the ACLU agrees with me on this specific argument.
