Court Reinstates Suit over Post-9/11 Detentions, Racial Profiling 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A federal appeals court has reinstated a decade-old case that could hold
senior Bush administration officials to account for their roles in the
post-9/11 detentions, abuse and religious profiling of Muslim, Arab and
South Asian men. The plaintiffs are among thousands of people rounded up
and held after 9/11, many without charge. They have been attempting to
sue Bush-era officials including former Attorney General John Ashcroft
and former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
