Well this IS going to be interesting isn't it.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that prisoners seized as potential terrorists and held for more than two years at a U.S. military prison camp in Cuba may challenge their captivity in American courts, a major defeat for President Bush in one of the first major high court cases arising from the Sept. 11 attacks
In related cases, the court ruled that an American citizen suspected of aiding the enemy can go to court to challenge his indefinite detention as an “enemy combatant” but declined to rule in a similar case involving an American suspected in a terrorist plot

2 years is enough time to build a case. I like the ruling as well.

I like this because it does allow a due process rather than a total grant of rights to people captured as terrorists. Due process is cool, nation of laws not men and all that.
