I am not sure how you can appeal the designation of being an enemy combatant if the U.S. believes you do not have the right to an attorney. The reason our government wants to imprison these men for life is that they admittedly do not have enough evidence to try and convict them, and yet need to keep them from being a threat.

From my original post about this, a quote from the Washington Post article:

"The Bush administration is drawing up a long-term plan for al-Qa'eda suspects at Guantanamo Bay, including building a prison where they could be held for the rest of their lives without ever appearing in a court of law.

Defence officials told the Washington Post that the Pentagon was preparing to ask Congress for $25 million for a 200-bed prison, known as Camp 6, to hold suspects it does not have enough evidence to convict."
