Military Commissions Act gets federal court victory

Newspapers in earlier time zones have the advantage in publishing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled Tuesday terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have no challenge rights in U.S. courts.

In a 2-1 ruling, the judges said the 2006 Military Commissions Act blocks detainees from trying to appeal the president's decision to hold them without charges and without any promise of release, The Washington Post reported.

The case is expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.
