Military Lawyers Rise to the Occasion
Two military lawyers in particular deserve great praise for their vigorous defense of their clients: Lt. Commander Charles Swift and Major Dan Mori.

The New York Times profiles a military lawyer who is aggressively defending a Yemeni man being held at Guantanamo: ''I had expected that if we were going to use these tribunals, we were going to start with some very hard-core Al Qaeda members," says Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift. "Yes, he had driven for bin Laden, but how did that make him a criminal?''
Major Dan Mori represents Dan Hicks, an Australian at Guantanamo who will face a military tribunal.
