Yep, this is what unchecked executive branch power looks like, holding innocent people in prison. Thank god the Federal Court system got him out.
How many other innocent men, women, and children is Bush holding in prison cells without charges, or access to lawyers?
heh, so now Bush is helping China round up their subversives.....

Appeals court rules for Guantanamo detainee

A federal appeals court announced Monday that it has overturned the Pentagon's classification of a Guantanamo Bay detainee as an enemy combatant.
In the first Guantanamo Bay case to be reviewed, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in favor of Huzaifa Parhat, a Chinese Muslim known as a Uighur, undermining the basis for his more than six years in detention.
The appeals court directed the U.S. military to release Parhat, to transfer him or to hold a new proceeding promptly in light of the appeals court's ruling.
Parhat never fought against the United States and the government concedes there's no evidence he ever intended to. He has been held for six years because he is linked to a Chinese separatist group that the military says has some ties to the al-Qaida terrorist network.
The military says Parhat trained in an ETIM camp to prepare to fight against China. The Chinese government blames the separatist group for hundreds of attacks, while human rights groups say Beijing represses religious freedom and uses anti-terrorism laws to crack down on legitimate protests.

) have become a diplomatic and legal headache for the U.S. The Chinese government wants the men turned over to face terrorism charges in China, where human rights groups say they will be tortured or killed.
