News: As reported here, Petrick Ehlers, a federal public defender from Oregon, has run out of options in court because Congress has taken away jurisdiction of federal courts to hear “enemy combatant” habeas petitions. So Ehlers has now taken his case to YouTube, pleading for his client Adel Hahmad — who has been detained by U.S. military in Guatanamo since July 2002, after he was taken into custody from his home in Pakistan. The video is called “Guantanamo Unclassified.” It’s the first legal video brief on YouTube that I know of. (As of yet, we don’t teach this in law school.)

there are many ways to get involved to help restore habeas corpus, to help Adel Hamad and other detainees to get a fair shake.
