Supreme court rebuffs Bush on rights of 'enemy
combatants'
From today's Congressional Quarterly Midday Update (available at
http://www.cq.com) -
The Supreme Court has "made clear that a state of war is not a
blank check for the president when it comes to the rights of the
nation's citizens." -- Justice Sandra Day O'CONNOR
In a series of decisions, the Supreme Court on Monday repudiated
the Bush administration's strategy of imprisoning alleged "enemy
combatants" without allowing them to challenge their detention in
court. The rulings, involving both U.S. citizens and foreign
nationals, set the stage for Congress to spell out more explicit
ground rules for such cases. Justice Antonin Scalia issued a
pointed call for legislation. The court ruled 6-3 that foreigners
held at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have the right
to contest their captivity in federal courts. On another 6-3 vote,
the justices said U.S. citizen Yaser Esam Hamdi, who was captured
in Afghanistan in 2001 and held in the United States, must be
allowed to challenge the basis for his imprisonment before a
"neutral decision-maker." In the third case, brought on behalf of
U.S. citizen Jose Padilla, the court by 5-4 reversed a lower court
on technical grounds, without ruling on its merits.

FOIA Guidebook
The Justice Department Office of Information and Privacy has
published a newly updated edition of its Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) Guide. The guide is a comprehensive treatment of the act's
provisions, extensively annotated with footnotes to the
ever-growing body of case law. While the principal audience for the
Guide seems to be government attorneys and FOIA officers who must
implement the act, it is also a useful resource for FOIA requesters
seeking insight into FOIA practice and procedure. The full text of
the May 2004 edition of the FOIA guide is now available on the
Justice Department web site at:
