Justice Dept. Seeks Dismissal of Gitmo Cases

HeadlineJan 04, 2006

In other news, the Justice Department has filed a request to dismiss more than 180 cases brought by Guantánamo Bay detainees to challenge their detentions. The detainees lost their right to habeas corpus in a Senate amendment attached to anti-torture legislation passed last month. Detainees are now only able to plead their case before an appeals court once they have gone through a military court process.
