DOJ Seeks Lawyers for Guantanamo Cases
At the time of the Supreme Court's landmark decision in three weeks ago, the Justice Department had four lawyers
devoted to handling about 250 Guantanamo Bay habeas cases. But now that
the high court has cleared the way for detainees to challenge their
captivity in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia,
Justice is trying to fatten its team to 50 lawyers -- half of whom would
be assigned to clean up or augment the government's evidence.
