Lt. Cmdr. Charles D. Swift to appear in Kansas City

[KansDem]

I just received Rockhurst University’s “Visiting Scholar Lecture Series” calendar and saw this:

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

Lt. Cmdr. Charles D. Swift (Ret.)
“Guantanamo Bay and Its Implications for the Rule of Law”

For more than a dozen years as a lawyer for the U.S. Navy, Charles Swift took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Swift was assigned to defend Salim Ahmed Jamdan, a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay. Swift appealed his client’s writ of habeas corpus petition to the U.S. Supreme Court and defeated the Bush administration when the court found its actions violated the Geneva Conventions and the United States Uniform Code of Military Justice. He will deliver the Alpha Sigma Nu—Vincent Daues, S.J., Lecture on his experiences.

Lecture begins at 7:30pm and is held in the Mabee Theater, Sedgwick Hall. It is free and open to the public.

To register your attendance, call [phone].
