Court Allows Guantanamo Detainees To Sue Washington

WASHINGTON, June 29 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - In a landmark
ruling, the US Supreme Court endorsed Monday, June 28, the right of
prisoners held incommunicado at the notorious US Guantanamo prison in Cuba
to challenge their captivity in American courts.

Hailed by rights groups and families as a blow to the administration of
George W. Bush, the ruling also coupled with a separate verdict that a US
citizen should get a fair opportunity to rebut the government's case for
detaining him/her, Reuters news agency reported.
