A Prison Beyond The Law (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2555)
by Joseph Margulies
Joseph Margulies served as lead counsel for the plaintiff in Rasul v. Bush – the Supreme Court case that ruled against the Pentagon in favour of the Guantanamo detainees. In this eight-page essay, he sheds light on the case and discusses the legal issues involved.

The Trials of Mamdouh Habib (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2488)
by Bronwyn Adcock
Of the two Australians held in Guantanamo Bay by the Americans, the case of Mamdouh Habib has been the least publicised but possibly the more disturbing. His case raises a series of questions for the Australian Government. Who sent him to Egypt and why? Did the Australian Government know and what steps were taken to ensure that his most basic rights were protected?

Defending Guantanamo's Detainees Against Bush (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2541)
by Richard Powell
Steven Macpherson Watt, the lawyer battling the Bush administration over the detainment of ‘enemy combatants’ at Guantanamo Bay, speaks about his uphill fight for justice.

Officers' Unheroic Example (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2540)
by Jackson Diehl
Washington convention dictates that all sides in the debate on Iraq begin by stipulating that U.S. armed forces have performed "magnificently" and "heroically," and, implicitly, bear no blame for any of the messes. Perhaps that's mostly true -- but the boilerplate rhetoric risks perpetuating a culture of impunity among senior American military commanders.

New Habib Claims Discussed (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2543)
by Liz Foschia

Padilla, Hamdi, Rasul - Charge Them or Release Them (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2526)
by Jacob G. Hornberger
Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that Yaser Hamdi and Shafiq Rasul (and other Guantanamo detainees) are entitled to seek habeas corpus relief in U.S. federal district courts to challenge their detention by U.S. military officials, the question naturally arises: What relief should the federal district courts provide in those habeas corpus proceedings as well as the habeas corpus proceeding of Jose Padilla?

The CIA's Prisoners (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=2482)
For decades the United States led the denunciation of despots whose enemies "disappear" -- vanish into official custody, with no accounting for their whereabouts or treatment, no notification of their families and sometimes, no acknowledgement that they are being held. Now that same term is being applied to prisoners held by the Bush administration in the war on terrorism.
