Aired on June 11, 2007 The Bush Administration is flinching under a series of blows to its enemy combatant policy. A U.S. appeals court which has ruled that the government cannot indefinitely detain an immigrant named Ali Al-mari without laying charges. And twenty-five CIA agents face a judge in Rome...accused of kidnapping a muslim man who was flown to Egypt -- where he says he was tortured. At the same time, European investigator Dick Marty has just released a report with what he calls proof of CIA secret prisons in Poland and Romania. Michael Scheuer worked for the CIA for 22 years and is the author of Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror. Architect of the original rendition program under the Clinton administration, he defends the practice. And there's more confusion about the legal status of Omar Khadr and other Guantanamo detainees. A military judge just threw out charges against Khadr accused of murdering a US soldier on the battlefield in Afghanistan when he was 15 years old. For more on Gitmo's legal limbo, Avi talks to Michael Ratner, President of the Center for Constitutional Rights, who calls it a 'breakdown of justice'.
