Seeing Khadr through Hicks: Australian and Canadian Exception by Proxy in the War on Terrorism
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The American lead War on Terrorism has provoked a lot of criticism. Notable critics like Giorgio Agamben have pointed to the War on Terrorism’s intentional undermining of the Rule of Law through the establishment of States of Exception particularly with regard to the detention center in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. This existence of this institution has been met with almost universal condemnation, with the exception of Australia and Canada. Those states seemed to abandon their citizens to Exception by Proxy. This article analyses the Guantanamo Bay detention center as an instrument of a State of Exception and the processes of Exception by Proxy that Australia and Canada participated in.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
