"...the 500 or so detainees at the U.S. naval base in Cuba would be allowed to challenge in federal court."

Does this mean that each of the 500 animals will receive their own counsel? Someone please tell me this isn't the case.

I am not sure how to read this yet - remember that the SCOTUS has already injected itself into this and given them rights.

this may actually be a good thing.
