Former generals and U.S. Justice Department officials filed briefs Thursday urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Bush administration's authority to indefinitely detain the only suspected enemy combatant held on U.S. soil.

"The federal government is eminently capable of both protecting our nation's security and safeguarding our proud tradition of civil liberties."
