DESCRIPTION:Habeas Corpus, GITMO Style: The Perceived Tension Between Liberty and 
 Security\n\nVincent Warren, Executive Director, Center for Constitutional 
 Rights\nKent Scheidegger, Legal Director, Criminal Justice Legal 
 Foundation\n\nIn conversation with Bob Egelko, Legal Reporter, San 
 Francisco Chronicle\n\nDon't know what the writ of habeas corpus is? Habeas 
 corpus prevents the indefinite detainment of a prisoner without being 
 charged or brought before a court. Defenders of the right say that 
 suspending the writ of habeas corpus has historically been limited to "when 
 the public safety may require it" and has only been done a handful of times 
 in U.S. history. Can the United States effectively defend against terrorism 
 without suspending habeas corpus? What does it take to protect our freedom? 
 With the Supreme Court set to rule on Boumediene v. Bush and Al Odah v. 
 U.S. (which concern habeas petitions of detainees at Guantanamo Bay), 
 panelists will bring you a deeper understanding of these important 
 issues.\n\nLocation: Club Office\nTime: 6 p.m. check-in, 6:30 p.m. program, 
 7:30 p.m. wine and hors d'oeuvres reception\nCost: $12 members, $20 
 non-members, $7 students (with valid ID)\n
