[blockquote]WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court agreed Friday to decide whether U.S. citizens arrested in America as "enemy combatants" may be held indefinitely without access to lawyers or courts, setting the stage for a major ruling on presidential powers versus civil liberties.[/blockquote]
Just to review... U.S. citizen picked up in the U.S. and currently being held indefinitely in a naval brig with no access to a lawyer (in Charleston, SC). The military and DoJ claim he was involved in a nascent dirty bomb plot.
It's likely to be argued along with US v Hamdi, in April, and a decision on both is expected this summer.
