Early release of tapes of detainee cases
on Nov 27, 2007 at 10:11 am
The Supreme Court will release promptly the audiotape of the oral argument on Wednesday, Dec. 5, in the two cases testing the legal rights of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Boumediene v. Bush, 06-1195, and Al Odah v. U.S., 06-1196). The hearing is to begin at 10 a.m.; the tape will be made available for media and public access shortly after the argument concludes — that is, sometime soon after 11 a.m. The Court’s press release discussing access can be found here.
 As usual, the written transcript of the argument will be available by early afternoon. It will be posted on this site when available.
