Federal appeals court limits presidential power in al-Marri case

Ali al-Marri, a Qatar national studying in Illinois, was held for 16 months after arrest on fraud charges, with accusations of possible al Qaeda ties. The decision aligns with prior rebuffs of broad executive detention and underscores constitutional limits on wartime authority.
