Navy Lawyer Jailed for Leaking Gitmo Prisoners' Names

"In early 2005, as he was concluding a six-month tour of duty as a legal adviser at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Diaz sent an anonymous note to a New York civil liberties group containing the detainees' names. The Center for Constitutional Rights earlier had won a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that terrorism suspects had the right to challenge their detention. But the Pentagon was refusing to identify the men, hampering the group's effort to represent them." Can't be Habeas Corpus or the Bill of Rights they hate us for....If so, they have been sadly misinformed.
