      abstract = {The U.S. detention center at Guantánamo Bay has long been  synonymous with torture, secrecy, and the abuse of  executive power. It has come to epitomize lawlessness and  has sparked protracted legal battles and political debate.  For too long, however, Guantánamo has been viewed in  isolation and has overshadowed a larger, interconnected  global detention system that includes other military  prisons such as Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, secret CIA  jails, and the transfer of prisoners to other countries for  torture. Guantánamo is simply-and alarmingly-the most  visible example of a much larger prison system designed to  operate outside the law.Habeas Corpus after 9/11 examines  the rise of the U.S.-run global detention system that  emerged after 9/11 and the efforts to challenge it through  habeas corpus (a petition to appear in court to claim  unlawful imprisonment). Habeas expert and litigator  Jonathan Hafetz gives us an insider's view of the detention  of "enemy combatants" and an accessible explanation of the  complex forces that keep these systems running. In the age  of terrorism, some argue that habeas corpus is impractical  and unwise. Hafetz advocates that it remains the single  most important check against arbitrary and unlawful  detention, torture, and the abuse of executive power.},
