Guantanamo and the Threat to the Rule of Law - 5/20/07

GUANTANAMO AND THE THREAT TO THE RULE OF LAW

SPEAKER: BILL GOODMAN
Former Director, Center for Constitutional Rights


In February 2002, one month after the first detainees arrived at Guantánamo, CCR filed the first challenge to the Bush administration's attempt to create an offshore penal colony outside the rule of law.

However, the Bush administration has twice ignored the Supreme Court, and continues to hold these men outside of the law.Since its opening Guantánamo was clearly illegal. Now, in 2007, Guantánamo has become an intelligence and national security failure, a moral stain on our nation, and a corrupt symbol that cannot continue.
