The Supreme Court heard a case regarding US citizens, Shawqi Omar and Mohammad Munaf, who have been stripped of their right to challenge their detention because they are held in US prisons in Iraq. This is the first case of its kind, so the justices have little precedent to turn to. Washington Editor Leigh Ann Caldwell spoke with Matthew Maclean, a partner at Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pitman law firm. He helped to author an amicus brief filed by the American Bar Association – but it should be noted he not speaking on behalf of the ABA. Maclean was present for this morning's hearing.
