Thanks for an interesting post! I’ve tried to find the court’s opinion though, with no avail, as it doesn’t seem to be published – oddly enough – on the district court’s website. Do you know where one could find it?

Keep up the good work!

After this article was published on Counterpunch, I received the following comment from Mary Catherine Barton:

“Thank you for your wonderful factual article about the ‘break’ a released detainee from the Guantánamo ‘hell hole’ received. Thanks, indeed, to the remarkable Judge Gladys Kessler. I wish her the best of health, and of course, agree that this decision will help so many, and the needs of justice in America.”
