Abstract
The article examines the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals, which held that President George W. Bush lacked the power to hold Al-Qaeda terrorist Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri as an enemy combatant. The court held that the laws governing war are defined by international law, despite the presence of contradictory domestic laws and international law bars the detention of terrorists unless they are clearly acting on behalf of an enemy state. Supreme Court decisions and constitutional provisions that contradict this ruling are cited.
