I applaud the Supreme Courts' ruling but where is CNN US, or any other cable {US] channel with this story. The answer is 'nowhere'. Only the international channels and BBC are leading with this. I have just finished watching a whole hour of CNN [US] with not a thing said about the ruling. What goes on over in the 'States'??

Today's ruling by the Supreme Court in <I>Boumediene v. Bush</I> delivered a
dramatic blow to the President's lawless detention policies and
overturned an effort by the previous Congress to eliminate the
centuries-old right of habeas corpus. The ruling means that prisoners at
the US military base at Guantanámo Bay, who have been held for more
than six years without charge, will finally have the opportunity to
challenge the accusations against them in a court of law. More broadly,
the ruling rejects the premise on which Guantánamo is based: that the
President can create a lawless enclave simply by incarcerating people
outside the mainland United States.

The muted response to revelations of torture raises the question of whether Americans are truly savages or simply tone-deaf on matters of morality.
