It has come to epitomize lawlessness and has sparked protracted legal battles and political debate. For too long, however, Guantánamo has been viewed in isolation and has overshadowed a larger, interconnected global detention system that includes other military prisons such as Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, secret CIA jails, and the transfer of prisoners to other countries for torture. Guantánamo is simply—and alarmingly—the most visible example of a much larger prison system designed to operate outside the law.Habeas Corpus after 9/11 examines the rise of the U.S.-run global detention system that emerged after 9/11 and the efforts to challenge it through habeas corpus (a petition to appear in court to claim unlawful imprisonment). Habeas expert and litigator Jonathan Hafetz gives us an insider’s view of the detention of “enemy combatants” and an accessible explanation of the complex forces that keep these systems running. In the age of terrorism, some argue that habeas corpus is impractical and unwise. Hafetz advocates that it remains the single most important check against arbitrary and unlawful detention, torture, and the abuse of executive power.Habeas corpusUnited StatesDetention of personsUnited StatesTerrorismUnited StatesPreventionCombatants and noncombatants (International law)Detention of personsCubaGuantánamo Bay Naval BasePrisoners of warLegal status, laws, etcCubaGuantanamo Bay Naval BaseHabeas corpusDetention of personsTerrorismPrevention.Combatants and noncombatants (International law)Detention of personsPrisoners of warLegal status, laws, etc.345.73/056Hafetz Jonathan1049242MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814521803321Habeas Corpus after 93670614UNINA
