In a major blow to the Bush administration, the Supreme Court has declared that the detainees at Guantanamo have the right to challenge their imprisonment. This comes as a sharp blow for the Bush Administration, which has claimed that allowing the detainees access to lawyers "posed a threat to the president's power to wage war as he sees fit." Oh really? How awful!
On the downside, however, the detainees at Abu Ghraib cannot be granted the same rights because they are being held outside the SC's jurisdiction. But we're getting there.
