Another Guantanamo Bay Ruling

I think we need to do a better job making sure we get the "right" people or our credibility will be harmed greatly. Anyway, this just came across the CNN website. The complete story is at this link

Court rules in favor of Chinese Muslim held at Gitmo


From Bill Mears
CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A federal appeals court ruled Monday that a Chinese Muslim held by the U.S. military was improperly labeled an "enemy combatant" by the Pentagon.



It's the first time a Guantanamo Bay detainee has been given an opportunity in a civilian court to try to secure his release.

The decision throws into serious doubt the underlying reasons for keeping Hazaifa Parhat in custody for more than six years.


A brief one-page order from the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington directed military officials to either "release or transfer Parhat, or to expeditiously hold a new [military] tribunal."
