Not surprising, but still fascinating: DOJ sues Snowden and his publisher because Snowden didn't seek pre-publication review for his new book or for certain paid speeches. Back to GTMO: Two D.C. Circuit judges make a point of weighing in, via a dissent from denial of a suggestion for rehearing en banc in Qassim, to express their view that (notwithstanding Boumediene) noncitizens held at GTMO cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment Due Process clause. Executive privilege: does it make any sense to say that it applies as to a conversation between POTUS and a private citizen?
