Fellow Chicago Guantanamo attorney Tom Durkin, died yesterday. Tom was my friend and a legendary defense attorney in Chicago -- even before he took on Guantanamo cases. You can read more about Tom here.
“We’re having a two-tiered system of justice in the federal criminal courts,” Mr. Durkin told a Sun-Times reporter during Daoud’s case in 2014. “We have cases in the war on terror, which we allow secret proceedings in because it’s so sensitive, and then we have our regular old justice system, and I think that’s … very frightening.”
Rest in peace Tom.
