WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush cannot order the military
to indefinitely imprison a suspected al Qaeda operative, who is the only
foreign national held in the United States as an “enemy combatant,” a court

war on terrorism that he has the power to detain people in the United
States without charging them.
