You Can Now Read This Opinion

(Jonathan H. Adler)

Today the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ordered the release of a redacted copy of its opinion in Latif v. Obama.  When the case was first decided in October, the opinion was classified. Based on his initial read, Ben Wittes thinks the opinion is "a very big deal" because it "expressly adopts a presumption in favor of the government's evidence in Guantanamo habeas cases."
