About Me

I am a civil rights/human rights lawyer in Chicago who is representing two Guantánamo detainees pro bono. Having represented these two men for four years and with no end in sight I shut down my civil rights practice to focus solely on getting my two clients out of Guantanamo, closing Guantanamo and bringing those responsible for and assisting with these particular war crimes to justice. This weblog will provide updates on developments concerning the plight of the detainees, the ongoing injustice of current U.S. detention policies in the "War on Terror" and efforts to hold accountable those men and women responsible for the war crimes. Much of the last year I have been living in The Hague, Netherlands where I was a visiting professional at the International Criminal Court. As A result of that experience I became involved in a start-up NGO the Oxford War Crimes Center (http://www.oxfordwarcrimes.org/) where I have accepted the title of Legal Director of Victim Representation. When my clients are free I hope to focus on the rights of victims before the International Court. I will not forget my duty to do all I can to bring the Bush administration war criminals to justice.
