High Court Asked to Take Guantanamo Case WASHINGTON - Lawyers for a Guantanamo detainee asked the Supreme Court on Monday to consider blocking military tribunals for terror suspects, and overturn what they called an extreme ruling by high court nominee John Roberts. Roberts was on a three-judge federal appeals court panel that last month ruled against Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a Yemeni who once was Osama bin Laden's driver. Hamdan's attorneys said in their filing with the justices that the appeals court had rejected long-standing constitutional and international law.
