Named in the Seton Hall studies

A team of legal scholars, lead by Mark Denbeaux, a Professor at Seton Hall University's School of Law, published a series of reports in 2006, based on the documents released by the US Department of Defense. The second report on the Guantanamo detainees, entitled: "Inter- and Intra-Departmental Disagreements About Who Is Our Enemy" documented that the Department of Defense was detaining captives for association with organizations that the Department of Homeland Security did not regard as a threat.
