Two cases will be immediately returned to a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said. The decision comes after an appeals court overturned a previous ruling on Friday that military tribunals are with in reach of the constitution and do not violate the Geneva Convention on prisoners rights. The AP is reporting that the two cases are those of David Hicks, an Austrialian accused of fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan, and Salim Ahmed Hamdan, the defendant in the trial that was overturned on Friday.
