eizure of privileged lawyer-client documents

On June 10 2006 the Department of Defense reported that three captives died in custody.The Department of Defense stated the three men committed suicide.Camp authorities called the deaths "an act of assymetric warfare", and suspected plans had been coordinated by the captive's attorneys -- so they seized all the captives' documents, including the captives' copies of their habeas documents.cite web

Military Commissions Act

The Military Commissions Act of 2006 mandated that Guantanamo captives were no longer entitled to access the US civil justice system, so all outstanding habeas corpus petitions were stayed.cite news

Boumediene v. Bush

On June 12 2008 the United States Supreme Court ruled, in Boumediene v. Bush, that the Military Commissions Act could not remove the right for Guantanamo captives to access the US Federal Court system. And all previous Guantanamo captives' habeas petitions were eligible to be re-instated.

On July 18 2008 David Remes and Marc D. Falkoff filed a "status report" on behalf of Hassan Bin Attash and fifteen other Guantanamo captives.The United States Department of Justice has not provided a "factual return" for Hassan Bin Attash.
