The internet news services are abuzz with the story. This from Reuters on Yahoo, complements of David Morgen, White House Under Pressure Over Guantanamo Ruling:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration faced pressure on Tuesday to overhaul how it brings foreign terrorism suspects to trial after the surprise dismissal of war crimes charges against two prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay.
With only days to appeal, the White House said it disagreed with the separate rulings by U.S. military judges on Monday and denied it had suffered another setback after being forced by the Supreme Court to change the system just last year.
Advocates for the detainees hailed the decisions as a watershed that would unleash legal challenges to the 2006 U.S. law that established the current military tribunal system.
