Pentagon to appeal rulings on Guantanamo prosecutions
The Defense Department said it will appeal two military court rulings blocking prosecutions of Salim Hamdan and Omar Khadr at Guantanamo Bay. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman cited semantic differences between unlawful enemy combatant and enemy combatant terms and planned a renewed argument before two judges. Hamdan, a Yemen national, was Osama bin Laden's alleged chauffeur, and Khadr, a Canadian, was 15 when arrested in Afghanistan for alleged killing of a U.S. soldier.
