Growth at Base Shows Firm Stand on Military Detention
24 August 2003, Charles Savage, Miami Herald
Yale Law School professor Harold Koh, who represented Cuban and Haitian migrants at the Guantánamo base in 1994-95, said by phone that the construction means ''we are just getting further and further in'' to an alternative justice system outside the rule of law and unauthorized by Congress. ''If everyone thought about where this is leading us, they might have doubts about whether this is where we want to go,'' Koh said. "We have set up an offshore prison camp in an extrajudicial zone where people have no rights, and we assume no one is going to follow our lead . . . .''
For example, he noted, Indonesia is now building an island detention camp for alleged rebels.
