Photos: Who Are the Detainees?

NEWSWEEK looks at some of the famous terror suspects affected by the recent Supreme Court ruling on Guantanamo Bay.

In a landmark decision on June 12, 2008, the Supreme Court offered yet another rebuke to the Bush administration's detention tactics at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, ruling that detainees could now challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts. In a close 5-4 ruling on cases brought by detainees Lakhdar Boumediene and Fawzi Khaled Abdullah Fahad al-Odah, neither of whom has been charged with a crime, the justices found that the U.S. government is in violation of the prisoner's constitutional right to habeas corpus.
