WASHINGTON (AP) - The saga of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay — in captivity for years — is focusing on military tribunals that found them to be enemy combatants, which left them without any of the rights accorded prisoners of war.
Their cases are to take a detour into a federal appeals court Tuesday, a move arranged by a Republican-controlled Congress at the urging of the Bush administration.
The detainees' attorneys want the appeals court to allow a broad inquiry questioning the accuracy of the evidence the tribunals gathered about the detainees, most of it classified.
