The Associated Press reports:
A man held for years as an “enemy combatant” is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate a lawsuit accusing former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other government officials of torturing him in a South Carolina military prison.
Jose Padilla is appealing a decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. That court ruled in January that U.S. Congress, not the court system, has jurisdiction over military detention cases.
