U.S. District Judge Joyce Hens Green has ruled that the detainees at Guantanamo have rights under US law. Read the Reuters story here. Key paragraph:
Although this nation unquestionably must take strong action under the leadership of the commander in chief to protect itself against enormous and unprecedented threats, that necessity cannot negate the existence of the most basic fundamental rights for which the people of this country have fought and died for well over two hundred years.
