Guantánamo: Justice as Paradox
Jonathan Hafetz describes the Obama Administration’s “new and improved” legal options for convicting those accused of terrorism – the administration always wins.
“As long as the present menu of options for dealing with terrorism suspects remains in place, U.S. detention policy will remain essentially lawless. The government will be free to use federal courts when it is confident it can convict; employ military commissions if it has doubts about the strength of its evidence or faces other obstacles; and dispense with a trial altogether where its case is weakest. Welcome to Guantánamo 2.0.”
