US Supreme Court to hear Guantanamo appeals
The US Supreme Court will hear its first cases arising from the government’s anti-terrorism campaign following the September 11 attacks, agreeing today to consider whether foreigners held at the Guantanamo Bay Navy base in Cuba should have access to American courts.
The appeals came from British, Australian and Kuwaiti citizens held with more than 600 others suspected of being Taliban or al-Qaida foot soldiers.
