The Fourth Circuit’s new opinion on Jose Padilla’s challenge to his detention as an unlawful enemy combatant is here (thanks to Curtis Bradley for the heads up). The holding, by Judge Luttig (an oft-floated name for the Supreme Court) is: We conclude that the President does possess such authority pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force Joint Resolution enacted by Congress in the wake of the attacks on theUnited States of September 11, 2001. I’ll blog more about this later. Must run to class!...

For those following the ongoing public controversy surrounding the film’s depiction of the hunt for bin Laden, two notes. First, the conservative thinktank the American Enterprise Institute hosted a forum on the film featuring three of the former CIA officials centrally involved at the policy level in the “enhanced interrogation” program: former General Counsel John Rizzo, former CIA director Michael Hayden, and former head of the CIA’s National Clandestine Service, Jose Rodriguez. Will Saletan has a summary of the proceedings (and a link to the video) over at Slate. Second,...

...may be seen as a victory for the administration. Peggy looked at the implications for the application of the Geneva Conventions to al Qaeda detainees. 7. The Padilla Saga Continues. The story of particular detainee, albeit an American one–Jose Padilla, had numerous twists and turns this year, culminating in his indictment. See also this post. 8. The London Bombings. The latest al Qaeda attack didn’t so much bring new legal issues to the fore as it gave us reason to revisit an ongoing question: are such terrorist bombings and other...

The United States of America shall take all measures necessary to ensure that Messrs. José Ernesto Medellín Rojas, César Roberto Fierro Reyna, Rubén Ramírez Cárdenas, Humberto Leal García, and Roberto Moreno Ramos are not executed pending judgment on the Request for interpretation submitted by the...

In Jose Alvarez’s president’s column this month over at the ASIL website, Jeff Dunoff, Steve Ratner, and David Wippman defend their leading casebook against French charges that American approaches to international law are too realist, too interdisciplinary, and too US-centric. I think their arguments are pretty persuasive. US policy may not lately have had much to offer to the advancement of international law, but I think new American IL methodologies will make an important contribution to its long-term effectiveness. Here’s how Jeff, Steve, and David put it, with respect to...

...are other cases where conflict entrepreneurs publicly exhorted violence and substantial numbers of ordinary people ordinarily disconnected from the political process actively committed the acts in question with the acquiescence or complicity of many more individuals. I have written elsewhere that Rwanda presents a compelling case study of this unsettling phenomenon. Rwanda disturbingly demonstrates David Luban’s perception that “getting people to murder and torment their neighbors is not hard; in some ways, it turns out to be ridiculously easy.”… In Rwanda , genocide was a social project: as José Alvarez...
