The US Supreme Court has ruled that the Bush administration does not have
the authority to try terrorism suspects by military tribunal.
Justices upheld the challenge by Osama Bin Laden's ex-driver to his trial
at
Guantanamo, saying the proceedings violated Geneva Conventions.

The ruling is seen as a major blow to President George W Bush - but it
does
not order the closure of Guantanamo.

Mr Bush said he would respect it but also protect Americans from
"killers".

The Cuba-based facility currently holds about 460 inmates, mostly without
charge, whom the US suspects of links to al-Qaeda or the Taleban.

Profound implications

Osama Bin Laden's ex-driver, Salim Ahmed Hamdan, is one of 10 Guantanamo
inmates facing a military tribunal.





Yeh - Osamas ex-driver - that's like executing Hitlers lavatory
attendant!!





M.P

Godwin's law. You lose from the get go.
