Guantanamo and the Abuse of Presidential Power

Book Description

In his address to the nation on September 20, 2001, President Bush declared war on terrorism and set in motion a detention policy unlike any we have ever seen. Since then, the United States has seized thousands of people from around the globe, setting off a firestorm of controversy. Guantanamo and the Abuse of Presidential Power explores that policy and the intense debates that have followed.

Written by an expert on the subject, one of the lawyers who fought -- and won -- the right for prisoners to have judicial review, this important book will be of immense interest to liberals and conservatives alike. With shocking facts and firsthand accounts, Margulies takes readers deep into the Guantánamo Bay prison, into the interrogation rooms and secret cells where hundreds of men and boys have been designated "enemy combatants." Held without legal process, they have been consigned to live out their days in isolation until the Bush administration sees fit to release them -- if itever does. Margulies warns Americans to be especially concerned by the administration's assertion that the Presidentcan have unlimited and unchecked legal authority.

Tracing the arguments on both sides of the debate, this vitally important book paints a portrait of a country divided, on the brink of ethical collapse, where the loss of personal freedoms is under greater threat than ever before.

The lies of a biased attorney.......2007-10-13

After witnessing what goes on in Guantanamo Bay for a year and being a guard that had great report with the subject in question in this book I found the book quite humorous. There were multiple instances of bending the truth and even quite a bold faced lies.

A powerful and important book.......2007-08-29

This book deserves a much wider audience. No matter how bad you think things are in Guantanamo, this book makes clear that the reality is ten times worse. Margulies is extremely knowledgeable about the issues, and he's a fine writer. It is hard not to feel ashamed -- and outraged -- by the injustices that are occurring under our flag. Let me add that I do not know (and have never met) the author, Joseph Margulies.

Extremely well-written, intelligent arguments........2007-07-12

One of the few books I've read about any controversial topic that resists the temptation to start name-calling, insult-slinging and obvious political agendas.

Dr. Margulies succeeds in explaining legal arguments in a way that is engaging and not condescending. He addresses every question you could have about torture and then some. He does something many authors fail to do: he argues his point in a greater context than the argument itself. That is to say, anyone can argue torture in the context of laws or the Geneva Convetions. Dr. Margulies goes further and discusses torture in the context of security for civilians and soldiers and foriegn policy, and then also provides the background for the writing of the Geneva Conventions and why we have refrained from torture in the past.

Absolutely enlightening.

Makes You Wonder Why Bush Is Not In Prison.......2007-01-05

Robert McNamara noted (about WWII), "LeMay said if we lost the war that we would have all been prosecuted as war criminals. And I think he's right. He... and I'd say I... were behaving as war criminals." No question that the only thing that keeps Bush, Rumsfeldt, etc. out of jail is that fact that they are protected by our country's hard to challenge power. If we were a broken power rather than a great power, it seems certain that someone would try to lock them up.

This book confirms that many laws, national and international, regarding torture, detention, and so on have been willfully violated. It is a compelling and disturbing story. And the final chapters are still to be written.

Human right & Guantanamo.......2006-11-02

This is good research book written by a powerful human right lawyer professor who gave a first hand litigation on behalf of the detainees deemed titled as enemy combatants who lost the dignity and qualification of being human.

He argued with precedents that during war time, enemy combatants had their rights and were subject to Geneva Convention protection. In Guantanamo Bay detention center, he documented that detainees were subject to interrogative techniques being abusive, illegal and immoral. He questioned such reign of terror method to get information to protect Americans are doubtful.

He showed that many of the detainees were the unlikely ones at the wrong time at the wrong place being rounded and ended up at Camp Delta. The torture on these 'suspects' may make a sharp contrast to American Constitution of all men are created equal, due process, human rights and rule of laws. Why it happened in the country with such high moral ground? Do we hear the born-again call for turning the other cheek?

This book will answer why the President justify the camp and technique for protecting the American people.

Book Description

The searing story of one man's years inside the notorious American prison—and his Kafkaesque struggle to clear his name.

"Under the hood I felt I couldn't breathe properly….Flashing lights—obviously from soldiers' cameras taking trophy pictures—came and went in front of me, despite the hood's darkness. From beside me a voice said in Arabic, 'Shall we pray, brother?' A guard came and screamed in my ear, 'Shut up, motherfucker, if you speak again I'll kill you.'"—from Enemy Combatant

Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, has become a worldwide symbol of the dark side of America's War on Terror. Here, for the first time, is a powerful and moving story from the other side, the first detainee's account of life inside the notorious prison. A highly educated British Muslim, Moazzam Begg spent three years in U.S. custody, nearly two of them in Guantánamo, before being released without charge in January of 2005.

Enemy Combatant, written with respected UK journalist Victoria Brittain, is the wrenching narrative of Begg's detention, including his eighteen months in solitary confinement. Secretly abducted at midnight from his home in Afghanistan, held incommunicado in Kandahar and Bagram Air Force base, Begg was eventually flown to Guantánamo, where, like more than 800 Muslim men and boys—550 of whom remain in custody—he was held in shackles and the now-trademark orange prison uniform, subjected to relentless interrogations and abusive and degrading conditions.

A riveting, personal story by a thoughtful and eloquent man, Enemy Combatant is a uniquely personal indictment of America's establishment of a global gulag that flouts the Geneva conventions—one of the great miscarriages of justice in our time.

A cakewalk compared to the experiences of American POWs.......2007-10-17

I am only half way through this book, but I can't resit writing a preliminary review after seeing the other reviews offered here.

I was a POW in Hanoi for six years. I can understand Begg's emotional response to his imprisonment. He has gone through the same emotional roller coaster that afflicts all prisoners, but that experience is universal and not the fault of the US or anyone else.

I do believe that the Administration erred seriously in not giving all these detainees POW status. One result of doing so would be that there would be no discussion of habeus corpus or detention without trial or guilt. POWs are guilty of nothing but are detained until exchanged by agreement with the enemy or the conclusion of hostilities. They have no right to expect anything else. Almost all of the mistreatment that has befallen the detainees has been generated by confusion at all levels as to what the standards of treatment should have been. The confusion came from the top and worked down through all levels. The bad decisions were urged upon the Administration by a bunch of attorneys who, to be blunt, had no idea what they were talking about. They were way out of their league. Their prime motivation was merely to provide legal rationale for what the Administration was determined to do anyway. Advice from senior experienced military leaders was disregarded by civilian leaders. This is especially galling as many of those civilians evaded service during Vietnam while the senior military leaders all earned their hard won experience in Vietnam.

The US fell into the same trap the Vietnamese did by denying a hated enemy the protection of the Geneva conventions. But there are important differences. Those detained by the US got enough to eat. To bad that Begg didn't care for the food- he got enough to eat. Reports are that most Gitmo detainees have put on a lot of weight. We who were POWs in Vietnam did not have that problem. The diet was semi starvation until the last months of the war. No, it wasn't because the guards didn't have anything better. They were well fed.

Begg wrote and received mail. I didn't write or receive mail for almost four years, and then it was only a small six line form several times a year. The Vietnamese did not list me and most others as captured until late in the war. Like most, I was "missing presumed captured" and my family had no idea if I was alive or dead.

Begg had paper to write with and books to read. We had none of that until the last month of the war. Six years with no way to make any use of your time except what was inside your head.

Begg did not get as much opportunity to exercise as he wanted. Compare that to never.

Begg was closely monitored and got adequate medical attention. We had none of that. Those injured prior to or during capture were lucky to live. If they lived they were to suffer for years with bones that knit together at crazy angles because they were never set. Wounds often drained and festered for years because the dressings were never changed and antibiotics were never used consistantly. Many died of their wounds. Ask John McCain. He was left to die until the Vietnamese realized he was the son of an Admiral and might be of some use. Even so the treatment given was so clumsy that he still has a gimp arm and other less visible injuries. About 137 Americans that we are pretty sure were captured never returned and no explanation has ever come from Vietnam. They either died of wounds not treated or were tortured to death or were executed. That's a pretty substantial number when you realize that the there were less than 600 American POWs. True, some detainees have died in our custody, and there may be culpability in those cases, but we are talking about a hand full out of thousands of detainees, most of whom were released and never sent to Gitmo.

I haven't come across anything yet in Begg's book that sounds like torture. Torture was universal for us and there wasn't any doubt that it was torture. What happened met every conceivable definition, even the cockeyed one used by the Administration. Some died during torture. I almost did. I am alive only by a lucky accident I don't choose to explain here.

Begg's places of detention were regularly visited by the ICRC. That never happened in Vietnam.

I could go on, but when Begg finds so much time to complain about the fact that some of the guards were unfriendly or even insulting, he doesn't have much to complain about. Imprisonment is not pleasant and military discipline isn't either. Begg did not seem to have any background to prepare him for either- lucky him. Bottom line to me is that his experience was a cake walk except for the fact that he was detained.

Of course, the real issue is whether he should have been detained at all. The answer to that is maybe yes, maybe no. He is certainly not going to admit in his book that he was working with Al Quaida. And guess what- he was released long before the war ended. Maybe he was totally blameless, maybe he was just no longer a threat. His release may have been conditioned on a pledge of good behavior and no further participation in efforts against the US. If he had had POW status, that would be called parole, which has a long history in international law. If a POW and not paroled, he would still be detained and would have no access to any court.

I'm not happy with the way we've handled our captives in this conflict, but I challenge anyone to name any enemy we have ever faced who has done as well as the imperfect performance we have delivered this time.

You May Be Next.......2007-09-08

Moazzam Begg has written a memoir about an experience during three years as a "detainee" that reminds one of Franz Kafka's fiction, but he claims that these things really happened and he writes with such clarity, conviction, and telling detail that I, for one, am convinced. Whether or not he was "guilty" is a mute point because although he was accused of many things - some quite fantastic and improbable - and even "confessed" under duress, he was never charged or tried for any crime. After three years of harsh treatment and over three hundred interrogation sessions, he was merely told he was free to go with no apology, thanks or recompense.
Although I consider myself well educated, I know little about the language, culture, history, and religion of Muslims; I have few acquaintances and no friends from that world. In this respect, I believe I am typical of most other native born senior citizen of the United States. I am indebted to Begg for lifting this veil of ignorance for me; he is an excellent ambassador. Interspersed in this narrative about what Hannah Arendt called the "banality of evil" are asides and incidents revealing information and insights valuable to my understanding. If he is an example of Islam in practice, I want to know more about it. In the midst of his ordeal he was able to reach out to many of his guards and interrogators and establish a human bond. I was reminded of Pogo's memorable statement: "we have met the enemy and he is us." If you are old enough to remember that line, you may also remember the bad old days of McCarthyism and anti-communist hysteria and have a sense of déjà vu. You might do well to pay close attention to this book as a primmer on how to survive the kind of ordeal that Begg suffered through. In the current political environment of anti-terrorist hysteria, if you give aid, comfort, or support to Begg or people like him you could well be labeled "Enemy Combatent" and suffer the same fate or worse.

Looks like a lot of people chose to swallow the Blue Pill when reviewing this book. .......2007-05-30

Moazzam Begg's story is basically this: despite all the coincidences and all the evidence of Begg's involvement in al-Qaida and jihadist movements in general, he claims of innocence and toruture are to be taken at face value. Oh, sure, he and lilttle Tokyo Rose co-author write a excellent piece of fiction; dramatic, poetic, moving and completely full of horse manure.

Never mind that he joined a jihadi street gang, "The Lynx" as a teen. Forget about the fact that he was arrested in 1994 after a raid and a search of his home found night vision goggles, a bulletproof vest, and extremist Islamic literature, because after all, it was just a "hobby". Forget that he has traveled to every jihadist cause celeb battle field: Chechnya, Bosnia, and Afghanistan, and that he also admits to financially supporting these causes, because after all he "swears" that he never took part in active combat. Forget that during another arrest in 2000 on a raid of the Maktabah Al Ansar bookshop, his computer was loaded with encrypted files, because the judge said he did not have to provide Scotland Yard with the decrypted information. Forget that wire transfer forms to an account of his in Pakistan were found by US and British special forces in an al-Qaida training camp near Jalalabad.

And my favorite: the only reason he went to the Taliban ruled Afghanistan was to .... better have a seat ..... he claims he when to open up a school for girls. A school for girls .... unfreakin' believable.

To take Begg's story at face values requires one to suspend all logic and ignore every piece of evidence that would lead any reasonable person to the conclusion that he is a violent jihadist.

The only way Begg should have left Gitmo is in a coffin not a rose parade from the Muslim Brotherhood.

We become what we hate........2007-02-06

Begg is a phenomenal writer. For the moment, strip away the politics of all this, and what he went through. Begg knows how to write. He knows how to pull you in, to write sentences which fully describe reality, to provide all the details to make you turn page after page, rushing to find out what will happen next.

Yes, Begg writes as an apologist for Islam, and sometimes his historical undersanding is incorrect, scewed in defense of Islam. But usually he displays a phenomenal grasp of information and detail, weaving together disparate threads to reveal a big picture rarely understood in the Wester world.

I believe this book to be accurate, and I'll tell you why. Moazzam Begg does not come off smelling like a bed of roses. We see progressive character dedevelopment in him, as the years of abduction begin to wear on him, and his response becomes angrier, more terse, and less caring. Many might say he had every right to, but Begg doesn't come across as a Ghandi- what he would be likely to do if he were trying to make up a story and hype up the horror. Begg is a real person, with all the glories, and the flaws. One must respect the honesty it takes to write that.

And since this doesn't seem to be hyped up-

I weep for our country. Here there is page after page of stark detail of government sponsored and approved torture. Some might say the torture could be worse. It could be. Doesn't make Torture Light permissible. I now fully see these are not Internment Camps. They are Concentration Camps, designed to circumvent U.S. and International Law. Not all the Nazi camps were Auschwitz. This didn't make the others acceptable.

After reading this book, you will no longer be able to accept things as they have been. This is a book to open the eyes. We turned the corner. Walter Wink writes of the Principle of Violent Mimicry, that we become what we hate. The American government has rightfully hated mistreatment of prisoners, torture, and terrorism for years. Now in our thirst for empire and revenge, the line between us and our enemies has disappeared, and Bin Laden has won.

If you only read one book this year - make it this one!,.......2007-01-23

Once I purchased Enemy Combatant, I couldn't put it down. Few books can claim to be written in a tone that alternates humour, seriousness, humility, self-reflection, moments of despair, and prevailing optimism.

Moazzam's account of his personal search takes the reader from the NF days in Birmingham, to war-torn Bosnia, to sinister Turkey (amateur spies abound!) and devastated Afghanistan.

As a convert to Islaam, I have been on "both sides of the fence". I feel that Enemy Combatant has the power to win hearts and minds, provoking dialogue to reach common ground. Above all, this book hammers home the point that the Guantanamo detainees, demonised by the press and abandoned by hypocitical leaders, are husbands, fathers and sons.

Book Description

A vivid and damning account of America's controversial interrogation camp.

Praised as a "tour-de-force deconstruction of Bush's supermax gulag" (San Diego Union Tribune) when first published, Guantánamo makes shocking allegations about the infamous U.S. detention camp in Cuba. Award-winning journalist David Rose argues that the camp not only constitutes a grotesque abuse of human rights but is also ineffective as a tool for combating terrorism.

Through firsthand research in Cuba, government documents, and dozens of interviews with guards, intelligence officials, military lawyers, and former detainees, Rose sheds light on Gitmo's ugly inner workings. He reveals that, contrary to the Bush administration's claims, the prisoners at Guantánamo are not "the hardest of the hard-core" Al Qaeda terrorists, ruthless men "involved in a plot to kill thousands of ordinary Americans." And he provides solid evidence that the brutal interrogations that supposedly justify the camp's existence have yielded very little useful intelligence.

US Governments abondonment of human rights.......2007-06-05

This book is based primarily on interviews with British detainees who were captured in Afghanistan and handed over to American soldiers by the Northern Alliance as well as interviews with United States government officials that carried out the treatment of the detainees and there ways of obtaining classified information from these so-called "terrorists".

Throughout his book, Rose argues that the unclear detention of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay has harmed the United States so-called "war on terror" by abandoning the principles of human rights that the United States claims to honor. On February 7, 2002 President Bush declared that prisoners held at Camp X-Ray had no legal status under the Geneva Conventions and that they were not prisoners of war but were "enemy combatants." Only a few of the detainees were involved with either al-Qaeda or the Taliban even though these detainees were rounded up in masses and those who were sold to the United States in exchange for $5,000 bounties paid by the United States for "terrorists" in Afghanistan.

Rose uncovers that the intelligence coming out of Guantanamo has been of little use to the United States government in its "war on terror." The United States has obtained this information through stepping up interrogations and conducting them using beatings, sleep depravation, denial of food, and other harsh techniques in order to force detainees into confessing. Rose's interviews with detainees expose many abuses used during the interrogation process while interviews with US officials try to deny any of it even happened.

An important book that everyone should read.......2006-06-16

This is an excellent book. It's well-written, and well researched. It's a slim book but packed with information; slim enough to make you feel you can press it onto ,friends and family and insist they read it. I seriously considered buying several copies of it to give away such is the importance of its message. Highly recommended.

Captivating.......2006-06-08

David Rose's depiction of what it was like as a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay is truly captivating. He precisely describes every detail of the harsh and brutal living conditions the prisoners (most of whom were not even involved with the 9/11 attacks) had to endure. It is remarkable that prisoners even made it out of Gitmo alive since these prisons were transformed more into concentration camps reminiscent of the Nazis. After reading this book, it is hard to imagine that a country that stands for freedom and the American way could subject innocent people to cruel forms of torture simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is disgusting how prisoners were treated and even more disgusting in the way our own president allowed it to happen. It makes one wonder at how truly fair and democratic this country is if places like the prisons at Guantanamo Bay exist.

National shame.......2005-04-13

David Rose's book is an excellent overview of what is wrong with Bush's "War on Terror" and the methodology used to extract information from those being held at GitMo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram, and other prisons around the world. Through the tortured legal reasoning of the Bybee memo and subsequent twisting by John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales at the behest of Bush, we as a nation have come to the "legal black hole" of GitMo.

Mr. Rose's book shows with painful clarity the results of that kind of reasoning which is illegal and immoral on both the strategic and tactical levels. On the international level the moral and legal high ground that the United States has claimed for the previous two centuries has been wiped away due to the non-legal aborgation of treaties, conventions, and accords that the United States has signed on to and ratified by the sole decisions by one man, Bush. On the national level the legal reasoning for torture is in contravention of U.S. statutory law and ratified treaties that have the force of U.S. law. This is one of the main reasons why Bush and his officials have been twisting the both the seperation of powers doctrine in the Constitution and "war powers" acts by Congress to mean that the office of President has virtually "unlimited power" during war.

The result of this decision to use torture in contravention of both national and international law is made abundantly clear by the horrific cases in Mr. Rose's book and by the experts cited to conclude that torture methodology leads to faulty intelligence, which was the raison d'etat by Bush.

The previous reviewer has obviously not even read Mr. Rose's book because Mr. Rose lives in Great Britain.

Book Description

Continuous expansion of executive power is igniting national debate: Is the administration authorized to detain people without charges or access to counsel, due process, or a fair trial? Is torture acceptable as long as it doesn't happen on U.S. soil? In a new study of the use of plenary power--the doctrine under which U.S. courts have allowed the exercise of U.S. jurisdiction without concomitant constitutional protection--Natsu Taylor Saito puts contemporary policies in historical perspective, illustrating how such extensions of power have been upheld by courts from the 1880s to the present.

From Chinese Exclusion to Guantánamo Bay also provides a larger context for understanding problems resulting from the exercise of plenary power. Saito explains how the rights of individuals and groups deemed Other by virtue of race or national origin have been violated under both the Constitution and international law. The differing treatment of José Padilla and John Walker Lindh--both Americans accused of terrorism--provides an example of such disparate approaches. Such executive actions and their sanction by Congress and the judiciary, Saito argues, undermine not just individual rights but the very foundations of our national security--democracy and the rule of law.

Book Description

In October 2001, nineteen-year-old Murat Kurnaz traveled to Pakistan to visit a madrassa. During a security check a few weeks after his arrival, he was arrested without explanation and for a bounty of $3,000, the Pakistani police sold him to U.S. forces. He was first taken to Kandahar, Afghanistan, where he was severely mistreated, and then two months later he was flown to Guantanamo as Prisoner #61. For more than 1,600 days, he was tortured and lived through hell.He was kept in a cage and endured daily interrogations, solitary confinement, and sleep deprivation. Finally, in August 2006, Kurnaz was released, withacknowledgment of his innocence. Told with lucidity, accuracy, and wisdom, Kurnaz's story is both sobering and poignant--an important testimony about our turbulent times when innocent people get caught in the crossfire of the war on terrorism.
