The Minutes of the Guantánamo Bay Bar Association
Comment from the contributor:
New York Magazine -- The Guantánamo Bay Bar Association a crew of lawyers who came together in the summer of 2004, after the Supreme Court ruled that detainees could challenge their confinement in U.S. courts. They liken themselves to the civil rights movements' Freedom Riders. Meet Joshua Colangelo-Bryan. He is one of the lawyers, who is on his way to Guantanamo to meet with his client who two weeks ago mailed him a suicide note. Colangelo-Bryan has not been able to attain any information on his client in the passing day, not even if he was dead or alive.
Al Dossari asked Josh if he was Jewish. He said no—Joshua was a popular name where he grew up, on the Upper West Side. Al Dossari was disappointed. “I heard that the best lawyers are Jewish,” he said. “But I’m sure you’re good, too.”
