Another Day, Another Civilian Faces UCMJ Processes

Here is a link to a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in the case of James Adolph v. Dr. Robert M. Gates (SecDef, for all those asleep for the last year). The case was filed today in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and requests release of Mr. Adolph from military pre-trial confinement based on the unconstitutional application of the UCMJ to a civilian working with US forces in Kuwait.

[Disclaimer: I am one of the counsel for Mr. Adolph with lead counsel, CAAFlog commenter John O'Connor. Our colleagues Geoff Hengerer and Sarah Gordon joined us in writing the brief]
