Gitmo Power Struggle

Remember how the DC District Court is trying to hurry up habeas proceedings for the Gitmo detainees? Well, the court also told the military that the prisoners could not be transferred without 30day notice to the court and the detainee's lawyers. Now the Gov't wants the DC Appeals Court to reverse that decision so the Military can transfer the prisoners ... I don't know where they'd take them (since the Admin. used to think Gitmo was an ideal place) ... but I think the Gov't thinks Boumediene just applied to Gitmo, so if they take the prisoners elsewhere then their habeas petitions won't be heard (relying on Munaf v. Geren that forbade habeas petitions from Americans in US custody in Iraq awaiting Iraqi trial). Grasping at straws? We'll see. The whole story is here.
