If Ben needs something to tear into, there's also this--my guest post over at the ACSblog, which uses Judge Brown's disturbing rhetoric in Latif as a foil through which to evaluate this "anniversary." Reasonable people (including us) will disagree about the merits of detainee policy going forward, but the paragraph on which the post focuses seems to me to be, especially in light of the D.C. Circuit's own interventions, virtually indefensible.
