in Why Closing Gitmo Isn’t Enough on The Washington Independent
Hi Daphne,
Actually, if remember right, the Boumedienne decision to grant habeas corpus rights DID extend beyond Gitmo. You might want to look at that more closely, though, as I am not entirely sure. But what is certain: everyone is worried about Cuba and missing this real issue--Bagram is the new Gitmo.

Actually, Boumedienne wasn't clear about that at all. Certainly some lawyers are arguing that Boumedienne should extend beyond Gitmo, but the government (at least the current one) isn't likely to accept that.
