A federal judge ordered the release of five Algerian terror suspects held without charges at Guantanamo Bay prison for almost seven years.


In the first civilian court ruling for terror suspects challenging their detention, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon said Thursday that the five men could not be held indefinitely as enemy combatants.


Leon ruled that the U.S. government failed to prove that five of the six Algerians held at Guantanamo Bay since Jan. 20, 2002 were enemy
combatants headed to Afghanistan to fight against the United States.


The feds' claim relied on one source, and the government didn't provide enough evidence to prove that source's reliability, according to the decision.


The sixth detainee was ordered held because there was sufficient evidence proving he has ties to Al Qaeda


One of the men to be released is Lakhdar Boumediene, whose landmark Supreme Court case last summer gave the Guantanamo detainees the right to challenge their imprisonment.


The government had accused all six of the men of planning to travel to Afghanistan to join Al Qaeda.

if they are not charged and tried, then they have to be let go

Yes, thats a tough one. It would suck to keep innocent people imprisoned for life. I say implant them with a chip and let them go, then monitor them for the rest of their life. If they get out of line, blast them from outer space.
