Abstract

The Enemy Within
Williams, Patricia J. | February 3, 2003 issue

add to cart   close window

The author reflects on the arrests of U.S. citizens suspected of being enemy combatants and terrorists. These citizens are arrested without charge, given no access to a lawyer and can be held in captivity indefinitely. She argues that the decision by the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on the case of Yasser Hamdi, an American citizen captured in Afghanistan, limits the scope of judicial inquiry military terms used in Hamdi's arrest. She claims that this strategy is a new form of suspect profiling.
