No surprise - DoD hearings affirm combatant status for 4

The New York Times (and others) report that the "Combatant Status Review Tribunals" being held at Guantanamo have come to a decision in four initial cases. As expected, the tribunals found sufficient evidence to support the military's designation of these individuals as enemy combatants. As such, they are subject to continued detention at Guantanamo Bay. According to Navy Secretary Gordon England, appointed by Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld to oversee the process, every detainee at Gitmo will be considered by these panels before the year's end.

These panels are separate from the military commissions planned for 15 of the detainees, and also separate from the habeas corpus proceedings in federal district court made available by the Supreme Court in Rasul v. Bush. It's not clear when either of those sets of proceedings will start, though the wheels are turning for both right now so I'd expect some action there by Labor Day.
