washingtonpost.com ABA Opposes Secret Custody In 9/11 Probe
Reuters Wednesday, August 14, 2002; Page A10
The American Bar Association voted yesterday to oppose the Bush administration's secret detention of foreign nationals after the Sept. 11 attacks, urging that their names be disclosed and they be given immediate access to lawyers and family members.
The nation's largest lawyers group joined civil libertarians and others who have criticized the government's policy of secret and prolonged detentions.
Of those taken into custody as part of the investigation into the Sept. 11 plane hijackings, the Justice Department has said, more than 750 people were detained on immigration violations.
The vote marked the second time the Bush administration's anti-terrorism tactics have provoked criticism during the association's annual meeting.
An ABA task force said last Friday that American citizens who have been branded "enemy combatants" and who are being held in this country without any charges should at least be given access to judicial review and an attorney.
