Cert Denied

A disappointing end to the latest saga in Razak Ali's fight for freedom. The Supreme Court last week denied the cert petition. As I mentioned earlier the chances were pretty slim to start with but I hung my hope on the Court feeling the need to address the issue of "indefinite detention" "guilt by guesthouse" and/or the legality of detaining Razak in Pakistan under the AUMF. I have had alot on my plate these last few months and I wish I could have put more time on the petition but it is what it is. I will now have to figure out my next moves for my unfortunate client.
Stay tuned......
