==Boumediene v. Bush== |
|||
On June 12, 2008 the [[United States Supreme Court]] ruled, in [[Boumediene v. Bush]], that the [[Military Commissions Act of 2006|Military Commissions Act]] could not remove the right for [[Guantanamo captives]] to access the US Federal Court system. And all previous Guantanamo captives' habeas petitions were eligible to be re-instated. |
|||
The judges considering the captives' habeas petitions would be considering whether the evidence used to compile the allegations the men and boys were enemy combatants justified a classification of "enemy combatant".<ref name=BostonGlobe2008-10-24> |
