 The Center for Constitutional Rights and others argued against this act before the U.S. Supreme Court in "Boumediene v. Bush" on December 5, 2007.Justice Kennedy held in the case that the MCA could not deny detainees and other petitioners, including Khan, their right to petition United States courts for writ of "habeas corpus".In the government's account, Khan was exposed to a radicalized element of Islam while in the United States.
