Re: Possible Habeas Jurisdiction over Aliens Held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
This memorandum addresses the questino whether a federal district court would properly have jurisdiction to entertain a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on behalf of an alien detained at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
I found this work in several places online, including:
http://antiwar.com/news/?articleid=2637
which links to:

It was also found in the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive, here:

It was reportedly released by Newsweek Magazine on May 21, 2004, though I have not found the Newsweek page on which that happened. The document shows evidence of having been faxed (particularly on the last page), and having been copied from a 3-hole-punched binder. There is a request for this document from Senator Leahy here:

It says he requested the document from Attorney General Ashcroft in 2004 and has been ignored.
