The Bush administration's judicial batting average on detainees and Guantanamo just dropped even lower:

A federal appeals court, in the first case it reviewed, has overturned the Pentagon's classification of a Guantanamo detainee as an enemy combatant.                                                 

A three judge-panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said Huzaifa Parhat, a Chinese Muslim known as a Uighur, is not an enemy combatant, undermining the basis for his more than six years in detention.

The court rejected the Bush administration's argument that the president has the power to detain people who never took up arms against the U.S

This is the first ruling from the 130 pending detainee appeals and first since the Boumediene decision. Needless to say, between Boumediene  and the Parhat decisions, it's looking less likely that September's detainee show trials will proceed unabated.

If they felt they had political clout out of proportion to their numbers, they could settle in Sohbet and do politics and not feel oppressed.
