WHILE some attorneys who defend enemy combatants may be wild-haired, sandal-wearing radicals, most members of the self-styled Guantanamo Bay Bar Association actually are well-heeled lawyers with America's premier corporate firms. They are at the top of their profession, and enjoy the best America has to offer. They were schooled on our finest campuses and are enriched by fees from the country's most successful business clients. Their pro bono services--mainly filing habeas corpus petitions in federal court to free detainees from military custody--are worth perhaps $300 per hour in donated value, according to September's American Lawyer.
