Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Legislation aimed at extending legal protections to terror suspects cleared a Congressional panel this week with the backing of Democrats, who worry that detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, may be denied due process.

The proposal, approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee, would, among other things, restrict the type of evidence that could be used against terror suspects.
