Davis's comments on Guantanamo detentions
Davis wrote a critique of the Bush Presidency's detainee policy in a weekly tabloid published in Toledo, Ohio, where he criticized the premise that captives taken by the USA during its war on terror, did not have any Constitutional Rights.[1]
In September 2009 Davis attended the "After Guantanamo" conference at Case Western Reserve University, where he described hearing former officials of the Bush administration tell shocking stories, and accounts of illegality on the part of more senior Bush officials.[3] Davis wrote an appeal to former Bush officials to take their accounts of illegality directly to John Durham, the Special Prosecutor appointed to look into torture by US officials. Davis wrote: "Everyone who has a story is a witness in piecing together what really went on. Every lawyer has also sworn an oath to be an officer of the court and is under an ethical duty to refrain from abetting crimes. Help John Durham find the facts."
