The Talking Dog Blog May 18, 2007 (excerpt)
The popular Talking Dog blog author interviewed IJN Executive Director Tina Foster in May of 2007. Ms. Foster said: "The International Justice Network has filed the first habeas corpus
petition for people detained at Bagram, Afghanistan. One of my clients
is Yemeni. Neither I, nor anyone else, can explain why he is at Bagram,
as opposed to GTMO, or anywhere else for that matter. The average
length of time a detainee is at Bagram, before being shipped to GTMO,
is 14 months-- at least according to a military source that leaked that
information to the New York Times.
My Yemeni client has been there for at least three years, and
probably well longer than that. No lawyer has ever been permitted there. "
