In Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, decided today, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling that invalidated a military tribunal against a detainee at GTMO, who just happened to have been Osama’s personal driver. In short, court held that commissions were authorized by Congress’s post-9/11 authorization of the use of force, that the Geneva Convention was not enforceable in federal court, and even if it was, it didn’t provide “prisoner of war” protection to an unlawful combatant like Hamdan.
