In concluding that it does not need specific permission from Congress to hold detainees without charges, the Obama administration is adopting one of the arguments advanced by the Bush administration in years of debates about detention policies.

The department pointed out that courts would continue to review the cases of those held without charges through habeas corpus hearings. The Washington Post first reported the decision.

Didn't I point out a change in my post? Is that not a positive aspect of this whole gitmo situation? Especially considering congress is resisting moving the prisoners on American turf.

The legal interpretation applies to detainees whom the government concludes should be held because they are a continuing danger to national security but who cannot be brought to trial for various reasons, like evidence tainted by harsh interrogations.

P.S. I was just pointing out that cherry picking a quote while ignoring the rest is intillectually dishonest.
