Gitmo Lawyers Allege Government Spying

HeadlineMay 07, 2008

Lawyers for prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are accusing the US government of eavesdropping on their phone calls. The charge comes in a new court filing in a case seeking information on whether Guantanamo lawyers have been the targets of government surveillance. One attorney says she’s stopped accepting any new clients, because the possibility of government spying means she can no longer guarantee confidentiality. The Justice Department has refused to acknowledge whether the lawyers have been put under surveillance.
