Looks like they'll still have two appeals, one to the DC circuit and one to the SCOTUS. And while it'd be better than the silly rules in place that allow them habeas, the question is why the SCOTUS or the Senate is interjecting here at all. Isn't the President commander in chief? Doesn't he decide how we fight wars? Doesn't he interpret treaties where that is relevant to fighting wars?
Heck, now I think he should let them all go...that is, let them all go driving over a few IEDs in Iraq.
I can't imagine these courts hearing 500 individial appeals. I have to believe that once the first few appeals show that the tribunals are constructed fairly, that the rest of the verdicts and sentences will just "flow" based on those initial cases.
