Washington, June 20 (RHC)-- A federal appeals court has reinstated a decade-old case that could hold senior George W. 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.
