Today the House Armed Services Committee held hearings on the Military Commissions Act of 2006 and the Future of the Detention and Interrogation Facilities at Guantanamo Bay. My article, ” Interrogation of Detainees: Extending a Hand or a Boot” (University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform, forthcoming) http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=975772 addresses many of the issues that will come before the Committee.
The article analyzes the limits of interrogation in Guantanamo Bay by historical analogy to the treatment of African-Americans in the detention centers in the Deep South in the 1930’s and 1940’s. In my article I recommend specific interrogation measures that can be implemented while guaranteeing detainees certain constitutional guarantees and protections.
