: Dispatches from the Culture WarsAppeals Court Allows Ashcroft Suit to Continue
By Ed Brayton
An appeals court panel of the 9th circuit has ruled in favor of a plaintiff who filed suit against John Ashcroft for illegally using the material witness laws to detain terrorism suspects indefinitely. The case is Al-Kidd v Ashcroft and you can read the full ruling here (PDF). Al-Kidd is represented by the ACLU.
Al-Kidd is an American citizen, born Lavoni Kidd in Wichita, Kansas. He converted to Islam in college. In 2003, he was scheduled to go to Saudi Arabia on a scholarship to study Arabic and Islamic law at a university there. Instead, he was arrested at Dulles Airport and kept in preventive detention for 16 months, repeatedly strip searched and shackled.
