The basic problem with the detainees' argument in the Rasul and Al Odah cases is that they leads to perverse consequences. To see why, suppose the Court rules that Guantanamo is U.S. territory, so that the writ of habeas corpus is available there. Even given such a ruling, government could still easily hold enemy combatants in custody without access to judicial review.

The Supreme Court, over the administration’s objections, agreed in November 2003 to hear the cases.
