"In a decision that backs a key portion of the Military Commissions Act (MCA), a federal judge has ruled that foreign prisoners held at the US prison camp Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, may not sue in US courts for their freedom. But US District Judge James Robertson also ruled that the law's attempt to deny that right to legal US immigrants was unconstitutional.
The Los Angeles Times reports the ruling came in the case of Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a Yemeni national and the onetime driver for Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Mr. Hamdan is charged with conspiring to commit terrorism."
