Guantanamo Bay

OK. Another technicality. Col. Peter Brownback, one of the judges at Guantanamo Bay for the military commissions charged to try enemy combatants ruled today that Omar Khadr could not be brought to trial because he was not classified as an "unlawful enemy combatant" but merely an "enemy combatant". Every prisinor at Guantanamo is classified only as an "enemy combatant" so there are major reprocussions across the board. Furthermore, a party has only 72 hours to appeal a decision to the Court of Military Commissions Review, a court which doesn't even exist yet.
