“On September 29 [2006], the House [of Representatives] affirmed the Senate’s version of the Military Commissions Act, which nullified any potential habeas [corpus] rights of the Guantanamo detainees and reaffirmed the authority of the military tribunals to decide who was or was not an enemy combatant–a designation that couldn’t be appealed in court.”
