For McClatchy Newspapers, Marisa Taylor reports: "A federal appeals court for the first time has rejected the military's designation of a Guantanamo detainee as an enemy combatant. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit overturned as 'invalid' a military tribunal's conclusion that prisoner Huzaifa Parhat is an enemy combatant. The court directed the Pentagon either to release or transfer Parhat or to hold a new tribunal hearing 'consistent with the court's opinion.'"
