CKUT Radio: Guantanamo Bay - The Militarization of Law

Listen to an interview with Shane Kadidal, a staff attorney at the Center
for Constitutional Rights in New York. The interview focuses on the recent
US Supreme Court ruling, concerning the indefinite detention of hundreds
of so-called "Enemy Combatants" from throughout the world at Guantanamo
Bay.

The June 28 2004, ruling outlined that the United States cannot order the
indefinite detention of Guantanamo detainees without due process and that
the detainees have the right to challenge the legality of their detention
in court, according to the US Constitution and International law.

The Center for Constitutional Rights, mounted the legal challenge, which
brought the plight of those detained at Guantanamo to the Supreme Court of
the United States. For those currently detained without trial at
Guantanamo, the ruling is an important legal victory. The ruling is also a
victory for the many international campaigns against the conditions at
Guantanamo and against the "War on Terror", which the continued detentions
at Guantanamo are a part.
