The sky is falling...Chicken Little The Federal court says we got to do what we got to do. Court Blocks Challenge to Detention of Afghan Prisoners Monday, November 18, 2002 SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court Monday rejected a challenge to the detention of 600 or so Afghan war prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, ruling that a group of clergy members and professors have no legal standing to intervene. The Coalition of Clergy, Lawyers and Professors sued on behalf of the prisoners, many of whom have been held at the U.S. base in Cuba for about a year. The lawsuit alleged they have been denied access to lawyers and have been held without being charged, in violation of the Constitution. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to address that issue, and instead ruled 3-0 that the clergy do not have legal standing to seek redress for the prisoners.
