  • House Votes to Keep Guantanamo Open 5/26/2015
    House Votes to Keep Guantanamo Open 5/26/2015 The House passed its version of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (2016 NDAA), H.R. 1735, on May 15, 2015. After rejecting a floor amendment that would have eased Guantanamo detainee transfer restrictions after the Administration’s submission of a detailed plan to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, the House voted to clamp down on detainee transfers, prohibiting them altogether in certain circumstances. The bill would also beef up reporting requirements regarding detainee recidivism, and require receipt of a set of unredacted correspondence and documents related to the controversial transfer of five high-level Taliban detainees to Qatar in exchange for U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, a swap that was challenged as unlawful by its critics, and limit expenditures by the Office of the Secretary of Defense until their submission is accomplished. TheAdministration has objected to the Guantanamo provisions and threatened to recommend a presidential veto if Congress approves them. Transfer of Guantanamo detainees into the United States. The bill would continue the absolute bar on the transfer of Guantanamo detainees into the United States for any purpose, as well as the prohibition on building or modifying facilities in the United States to house such detainees. As amended on the floor, both prohibitions would apply to all federal government agencies and would extend for two years after the bill’s enactment. Transfer of Guantanamo detainees to foreign countries. The bill would repeal Section 1035 of the 2014 NDAA (described in a prior Legal Sidebar post and this CRS report) and revert to the previous set of restrictions on detainee transfers to foreign countries (as described in more detail in this CRS report).

Map showing the 'Western line' and blast locations. The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts that took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and India's financial capital. 209 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks. Details The bombs were placed on trains plying on the western line of the suburban ("local") train network, which forms the backbone of the city's transport network. The first blast reportedly took place at 18:24 IST (12:54 UTC), and the explosions continued for approximately eleven minutes, until 18:35, during the after-work rush hour. All the bombs had been placed in the first-class "general" compartments (some compartments are reserved for women, called "ladies" compartments) of several trains running from Churchgate, the city-centre end of the western railway line, to the western suburbs of the city. They exploded at or in the near vicinity of the suburban railway stations of Matunga Road, Mahim, Bandra, Khar Road, Jogeshwari, Bhayandar and Borivali.

  • Fair Trade: the President’S Power to Recover Captured U.S
    FAIR TRADE: THE PRESIDENT’S POWER TO RECOVER CAPTURED U.S. SERVICEMEMBERS AND THE RECENT PRISONER EXCHANGE WITH THE TALIBAN Celidon Pitt* The Obama Administration’s controversial exchange of five Taliban detainees for a captured U.S. soldier in May 2014 reignited a heated debate over the proper scope of wartime executive authority. From a legal perspective, the primary issue centers on the constitutional balance of power between congressional appropriations and the President’s power as Commander in Chief. A complete analysis incorporates both judicial and historical precedent to evaluate the conflict within the broader context of prisoner recovery efforts. This Note argues that, regardless of the validity of legislative restrictions on the transfer of Guantánamo detainees, the President possessed sufficient authority to conduct the prisoner exchange. Commanders in Chief have retained exclusive control over recovery efforts since the Revolutionary War, often exchanging nontraditional detainees for regular servicemembers without any congressional opposition. Furthermore, as this Note concludes, Congress elsewhere granted the President ample discretion over notification and defense spending to legally conduct the exchange.
