OT: Court grants Guantanamo rights |
Court grants Guantanamo rights
Detainees being held by the US military at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba
should have access to lawyers and the US court system, a federal
appeals court has ruled.
The court said their detention was contrary to US ideals.
It did not accept that the US Government had "unchecked authority".
The ruling relates to the case of a Libyan national captured in
Afghanistan and currently being held at Guantanamo.
About 660 people are currently being held as "enemy combatants" at the
base.

There were two important decisions today relating to the same matter.
In the case of Jose Padilla, the 2nd Circuit Court of appeals ruled
that Bush has no power to declare an American citizen seized in
America a 'foreign combatant' witiout authorization from Congress.
Padilla was the one who allegedly was conspiring to set off a so
called dirty bomb.
"The pendulum is swinging back," said Elisa Massimino of the Lawyers
Committee for Human Rights, which filed a brief in the case. "Even in
a post-9/11 world, the president does not stand above the law and the
Constitution."

IMHO, the court did the right ting inre Padilla, but the 9th was its usual
brain-damaged self inre the Qitmo gang. I have no doubts that they'll be
able to boast of yet another of their decisions over-ruled by the SCOTUS.

"Even in times of national emergency... it is the obligation of the
judicial branch to ensure the preservation of our constitutional values
and to prevent the executive branch from running roughshod over the
rights of citizens and aliens alike," said the ruling by the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals.
It added it could not accept the position that anyone under the
jurisdiction and control of the US could be held without "recourse of
any kind to any judicial forum, or even access to counsel, regardless of
the length or manner of their confinement".
The decision comes shortly after another US federal appeals court ruled
that US authorities did not have the power to detain an American citizen
seized on US soil as an "enemy combatant".
That ruling, by the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals, related to the
case of so-called "dirty bomb" suspect Jose Padilla.
