US Supreme Court tosses "detainee treatment act", declares that prisoners *do*, in fact, have rights in the USA.

The judgement, unsurprisingly, was 5-4, with the 5 fact-based judges overruling the 4 faith-based crazy people.

Of course, this only applies to the few prisoners we know about, who are held in the few "official" prisons, and not the ones who are completely denied all access to legal counsel while they're raped, tortured, and murdered after having been disappeared, but it's a start.
