About the book
Since President Bush's executive order establishing military tribunals was first declared, US Courts have now ruled that Guantanamo Bay, the largest site of prisoners facing tribunals, is outside their jurisdiction. The rules governing the tribunals have been established and the first defendants named. In this second edition, Olshansky provides updated Constitutional analysis of this verdict and its consequences for due process and equal protection under the law.
