information. i was in the appellate division of my office and as an appellate defender i worked on legal issues. i was paired with -- i was assigned by the federal public defender. i was an assistant federal public defender and i was paired with a trial defender who attempted to do the fact gathering, who traveled to guantanamo bay. i never traveled there or anything like that. i worked on the law. and as you noted, the law was very uncertain. this was brand-new and people were trying to figure out what are the limits of executive authority in this context? we knew that the constitution was not suspended, even though we had this emergency. so what did that mean with respect to these individuals? i filed as a federal public defender, i was assigned to work on four cases.
