Justice remains a foreign word in the US

Guantanamo Detainees Can't Challenge Their Cases in U.S. Courts, Appellate Panel Rules - washingtonpost.com

A divided judicial panel ruled this morning that hundreds of foreign nationals detained for as long as five years at a military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, do not have rights to challenge their indefinite imprisonment through the U.S. court system.

Given this decision, there remains only the hope that the Supreme Court upholds the Constitution and principles of justice, or otherwise that the US contempt of justice be overturned by the International Court in the Hague!
