"For nearly two decades, many talented attorneys have represented detainees at Guantanamo Bay. They include advocates at the Military Commissions Defense Organization, professors at more than a few elite law schools, and litigators from scores of the nation’s most prestigious law firms. Some of those attorneys, perhaps most, have shown a prudent appreciation for the fine line separating zealous advocacy from frivolous tactics designed only to delay and disrupt...."  Al-Qosi v.
