Supreme Court Dismisses al-Marri Case
-------------------------------------



The Supreme Court has dismissed Ali al-Marri’s challenge to his
indefinite military imprisonment, a week after President Barack Obama
ordered him moved into the US justice system to face newly filed
criminal charges. Al-Marri is a US resident who was held in isolation at
a naval brig in South Carolina for more than five years. He has never
stood trial or been convicted of any crime.
