A Government of Laws and Not of Men: Accountability and the War on Terror
On October 14, 2010 the Center for the Study of Democracy at St. Mary’s College of Maryland hosted a panel discussion of U.S. interrogation and incarceration policies related to the “War on Terror.” The panelists were Scott Horton, a constitutional expert and author of the “No Comment” blog at Harper's online, Tom Wilner, attorney with the DC law firm Shearman & Sterling, and counsel to the Guantanamo detainees in Rasul v Bush and counsel of record in Boumediene v Bush, both landmark Supreme Court decisions repudiating U.S. detention policies, and Marine Lieutenant Col. Stuart Couch, veteran military pilot and prosecutor who refused an assignment to prosecute a prisoner at Guantanamo because he concluded that the interrogation of that prisoner had been “morally repugnant.” The discussion was moderated by Sherry Jones, award winning documentary filmmaker.
