In the weeks following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush administration decided to house "enemy combatants" at the U.S. Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- out of reach, the administration believed, of the ordinary civilian and military justice systems. Linda Greenhouse, former Supreme Court Correspondent for The New York Times, explores what Guantanamo tell us about our political and legal institutions, their relationships, and their commitment to the rule of law.
