BEIJING, Sept. 8 -- US President George W. Bush has urged Congress to pass legislation as quickly as possible, to authorize new military tribunals to try terrorism suspects at the military prison in Guantanamo.

    Bush made the appeal just a day after announcing that 14 terrorism suspects held by the CIA in secret foreign prisons had been transferred to Guantanamo. The Bush administration set up military tribunals to try terror suspects at Guantanamo in the wake of the September 11th attacks.

    But in June, the Supreme Court struck the military tribunals down as unconstitutional. Bush also called on Congress to approve his administration's domestic spying program.
