ANOTHER ENEMY COMBATANT

Al-Marri, from Qatar, now in a brig in South Carolina. Federal district judge Michael Mihm told his lawyers that they should bring their suit there, not in Illinois where al-Marri was arrested in February, 2002. Read the Reuters article here, and the article in the Columbia State, here. A background piece from mid-July in the Baltimore Sun -- and originally in the LA Times -- is here.

MORE: "Another," not in the sense that this is a new story, but in the sense that al-Marri's case hasn't been as high-profile as Hamdi or Padilla.
