Supreme Court Rebukes Gitmo Military Tribunals
The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 3 that President Bush’s plan to try Guantanamo detainees in military tribunals violates U.S. and international law. The decision, focused on Salim Ahmed Hamdan, questions the administration’s broader legal justification for monitoring and detaining suspected terrorists. Justice Kennedy led the opinion, urging standards tested over time to curb momentary pressures.
