Attorneys for captives in the Guantanamo Bay military prison asked a federal appeals court yesterday to reject a provision of the new military-commission law that strips hundreds of detainees of their right to challenge their detention in U.S. courts.
The lawyers, joined by a group of retired judges from both political parties, argued that the United States cannot indefinitely imprison foreign nationals in a military prison without charging them with crimes and deny them the chance to test the evidence against them in the U.S. justice system.
