The abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and the memo purporting to exempt the President from anti-terror laws probably pushed the justices in 2004 to grant detainees the right to go to court. An insider's harsh criticism of the tribunal system, Colin Powell's call for the closing of Guantanamo and the refusal of two military judges...
