Well the issue seems to be the Supreme Court attempting bring a form of habeas corpus to Guantanamo detainees, and the Administration cut the knees off of it by inserting appointed executive-branch-judges.
Art would consider it +1 for seperation of powers, whereas I feel it's -1 for checks and balances.
To grow on that, the executive branch does need a certain amount of wiggle room in times of war, to ensure expedient action against those who would do us harm. I see nothing that would detract from that by having District of Columbia judges determine the justifications for holding each of the detainees. They're off the "battlefield," now it's time to figure out what to do with them (read: Not time to let them rot in a cage for the rest of their natural life).
