Hamdan v. Rumsfeld was a landmark Supreme Court case that ruled on whether the detainees at Guantanamo Bay were protected by the Constitution and Geneva Conventions. The case focused specifically on Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a Yemeni national who was captured in Afghanistan and accused of being a driver and bodyguard for Osama bin Laden. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in Hamdan's favor, stating that the Bush administration's plan to try him before a military commission violated both domestic and international law.
