One of Ours

Neil Lewis has a report from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where American intelligence officers say they are collecting valuable, actionable intelligence from the detainees we have housed there. It appears from this story that the White House and Pentagon are trying to rebut fierce criticism of American policy at Gitmo by arguing that these detentions are producing results. I don't think this will necessarily sway the Supreme Court when it opines on Gitmo in Al-Odah v. United States, but it may help the administration score some points in the court of public opinion.
