Wow. Here’s a Reuters release on today’s Supreme Court decision with such blatant bias that it reads like a story at the Arab News: U.S. Citizen Can’t Be Held in Bush’s War on Terror. (Hat tip: Donald H.)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that an American captured overseas in President Bush’s war on terrorism cannot be held indefinitely in a U.S. military jail without a chance to contest the detention.

Four of the nine justices concluded that constitutional due process rights demand that a citizen held in the United States as an enemy combatant must be given “a meaningful opportunity” to contest case for his detention before a neutral party.

Two more justices agreed that the detention of American citizen Yaser Hamdi was unauthorized and that the terror suspect should have a real chance to offer evidence he is not an enemy combatant.

Anyone still wondering which side al-Reuters is on?

UPDATE: The media are spinning in every direction on this one: Bush Can Hold Citizens Without Charges. (Hat tip: Max DarkSide.)
