Guantanamo detainees' appeal rejected by US Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court rejected an appeal yesterday from Guantanamo Bay detainees who want to challenge their five-year-long confinement in court, a victory for the Bush administration. Despite the earlier rulings, none of the roughly 385 detainees has yet had a hearing in a civilian court challenging his detention because the administration has moved aggressively to limit the legal rights of prisoners it has labelled as enemy combatants.
