When it comes to some points, there ain't none.  I bet this action
pisses off a few Obama supporters.

Obama Follows Bush Policy on Detainee Access to Courts
By R. Jeffrey Smith
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, April 11, 2009; Page A02
The Obama administration yesterday appealed a judge's decision
granting three detainees at a U.S. military prison in Afghanistan the
right to challenge their detention in U.S. courts, arguing partly that
compliance would inhibit the future capture of Pakistani citizens for
detention by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

The appeal makes clear that, despite the ruling this month by U.S.
District Judge John D. Bates, the Obama administration for now wants
to stick with a policy set by President George W. Bush that those
incarcerated by U.S. troops in foreign prisons have no U.S. legal
rights. But officials said that did not foreclose a change of heart
after the completion in July of a comprehensive review of detainee
policy.
