Al-Marri and the Domestic Detention of Enemy Combatants
On Thursday, February 12, 2009, the University of South Carolina Chapter of the American Constitution Society hosted Andy Savage, local counsel to Ali al-Marri, who is being detained at the Consolidated Brig outside of Charleston, South Carolina. Mr. Savage gave a fascinating talk on the history of the Mr. al-Marri’s detention, using video and photographs to illustrate the Bush Administration’s use of incommunicado interrogation and torture throughout the War on Terrorism. Students in attendance were enlightened on the practices of the U.S. Government occurring just over an hour from campus.
