quote=The Government then informed counsel in December that the detainee had been positively identified because the newer version of the name more closely matched a detainee. However, the Government refused to provide the detainee’s identification ISN number and also refused to allow the lawyers to send a letter to their client until the attorneys displayed their 'authority to initiate litigation on behalf of the petitioner.'] So they filed this class action on behalf of all the captives.References
