You mean that one?
According to what I've seen on the case:
"The CSRTs significantly impede "the detainee's ability to rebut the factual basis for the Governments assertion that he is an enemy combatant" because the detainee (1) lacks counsel and may be detained based on (2) undisclosed evidence, if it is deemed classified by the military, and (3) hearsay, depriving the detainee of an ability to confront his accusers. This deficient fact-finding process is not cured by judicial review because the D.C. Circuit is denied authority by the DTA to (4) make an independent finding about the sufficiency of the government's evidence and (5) "admit and consider relevant exculpatory evidence that was not introduced during the earlier proceeding."

Yes, actually, those are the ones; we were talking about if they recieved a section 5 tribunal, they did; the Supreme court thinks as a nation we should go beyond that, the Geneva convention however, was met.
