The facility where the Combatant Status Review Tribunals (CSRT) will take place for detained enemy combatants is seen Thursday, July 29, 2004 at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. For the first time in the nearly three years since the Sept. 11 attacks, a prisoner picked up as a potential terrorist and held at a U.S. prison in Cuba got a chance Friday, July 30, 2004, to convince his jailers that he should go free. In upcoming hearings, a panel of military officers will decide whether each prisoner held at Guantanamo is indeed an enemy combatant, as the military contends. The hearing at the Navy prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is the government's most visible response since a Supreme Court ruling last month granted new legal rights to about 600 foreign-born men held at the U.S. base.

The facility where the Combatant Status Review Tribunals (CSRT) will take place for detained enemy combatants is seen Thursday, July 29, 2004 at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. For the first time in the nearly three years since the Sept. 11 attacks, a prisoner picked up as a potential terrorist and held at a U.S. prison in Cuba got a chance Friday, July 30, 2004, to convince his jailers that he should go free. In upcoming hearings, a panel of military officers will decide whether each prisoner held at Guantanamo is indeed an enemy combatant, as the military contends. The hearing at the Navy prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is the government's most visible response since a Supreme Court ruling last month granted new legal rights to about 600 foreign-born men held at the U.S. base.
