The US Supreme Court on Monday refused to take up multiple appeals examining whether suspected Al Qaeda and Taliban detainees at Guantánamo are being afforded a “meaningful opportunity” to challenge the legality of their open-ended detention.
The high court turned aside appeals filed on behalf of seven
Guantánamo detainees. The action came without comment from the justices,
but it carried enormous significance.
It lets stand without
additional judicial review a series of appeals court rulings since July
2010 that have made it increasingly difficult for Guantánamo detainees
to win their cases.

Another great call and another blow to terrorism.
Under the Geneva Conventions and long established US Law, the detainees HAVE NO RIGHTS. They could have just as easily been shot on sight as enemy combatants OUT OF UNIFORM.
How do you know they are terrorists?
Because CNN told you so?
Wake up. This is America. We (and everyone else) are innocent until proven guilty.
Soon you and I will be labeled terrorists by this evil Empire. Then what?
Wake up before its too late. This is exactly how it all started in Germany. Their citizens were much better informed than most Americans today.
