Abstract

The situation at Guantánamo is one of several past and ongoing examples of what Jordan Paust calls ‘dirty war tactics' deployed by the United States in response to the 9/11 attacks. In Beyond the Law: The Bush Administration's Unlawful Responses in the ‘War’ on Terror, Professor Paust describes these ‘dirty war tactics' and claims that, in undertaking them, the Bush Administration balefully has corroded the rule of law itself.
