Explanation:

Hamdan v. Rumsfeld was a lawsuit before the United States Supreme Court filed by Salim Hamdan, the bodyguard and driver of Osama bin Laden who has been held without charge on Guantanamo Bay since 2001, against Donald Rumsfeld, United States Secretary of Defense, under President George W. Bush.

On 29 June 2006, the court ruled by a 5 to 3 majority that the special military tribunals set up by the Bush administration for the Guantanamo Bay prisoners without Congress authorization were not allowed under the provisions of US military law (Uniform Code of Military Justice) and international law (Geneva Convention).

Hamdan was assisted by Charles D. Swift, lawyer for the US Navy, and Neal Katyal, professor of law at Emory University School of Law.
