Bagram Detainees Allowed to Petition for Habeas

Basically, the judge drew a distinction between people caught "on the battlefield" in Afghanistan and those caught elsewhere and transferred to Bagram.

Simply calling it a POW camp, particularly when you are not treating the detainees as POWs didn't cut it for the judge.

Needless to say, the Obama administration is expected to appeal this decision, in yet another case of going to the wall to support Bush era assaults on civil rights.
