A strong blow to the Bush administration's detainee policy, and the
military lawyer who dealt it. David Brancaccio talks with
Lieutenant Commander Charles Swift, whose Supreme Court victory on
behalf of his client, a Guantanamo Bay detainee, successfully
challenged the Bush administration's detainee policy.It also laid
the foundations for the current Congressional debate over how to
try those accused of terrorism. Will this development in the war on
terror deliver swifter justice or false hope?
The NOW Web site at
www.pbs.org/now will offer
special insight into detainee treatment through the perspectives of
