"The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that non-citizens suspected of
terrorism who are being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, should be allowed to
challenge their detentions in the U.S. civilian court system. Supporters of this
ruling say it provides detainees with basic constitutional rights. Critics of
the ruling say only special military tribunals should be allowed, because
hearings in open court could compromise terrorism investigations. What's your
view? Do you think these detainees should or should not be able to challenge
their detentions in the civilian court system?"
