Habeas Corpus and the War on Terror. Soon after the U. S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Bush administration developed a plan for holding and interrogating prisoners captured during the conflict. They were sent to a prison inside a U. S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay on land leased from the government of Cuba. Since 2002, over 700 men have been detained at " GITMO." Most have been released without charges or turned over to other governments. In 2011, Congress specifically prohibited the expenditure of funds to transfer GITMO prisoners to detention facilities in the continental United States, making it virtually impossible to try them in civilian courts. As of April 2012, 169 remained in detention at GITMO( Sutton, 2012).
