Supreme Court to Hear New Gitmo Challenge

HeadlineDec 05, 2007

The Supreme Court hears arguments today in a case challenging the Bush administration’s jailing of hundreds of Guantanamo prisoners without trial. Lawyers for the prisoners will argue the denial of habeas corpus violates the Constitution and international law. All of Guantanamo’s estimated 305 prisoners were seized abroad. It’s the third time the Supreme Court will consider a challenge to Guantanamo detentions since 2004.
