An investigation this deep and this thorough should be commended. Interesting how well it coincides with the Supreme Court decision restoring detainees' right to petition their cases in federal courts. I look forward to reading the remaining four parts.

This is a well-researched piece, one likely to attract brickbats from some with a political axe to grind. As a series this story and others tell us something about what we have allowed ourselves to become.

In addition to the excellent comments of two previous reviewers, it should be noted that the article provides background for readers who "tuned in late" to this controversy. The description of how this administration subverted the Constitution is informative and alarming, and provides the context for understanding why the Supreme Court decision is so important.

This is article one in a series reporting on an extensive independent journalistic investigation into the wrongful imprisonment of perhaps hundreds of boys and men. Statistics and personal stories are included. This kind of investigation is rare in recent journalism.

There was a time, I have heard, when a number of newspapers did the kind of good journalism that the McClatchy Newspapers do now. This is the information we need to be responsible and informed citizens and voters. Most people do not have the time or real interest to pursue facts so they read the local paper and watch a popular TV reporter repeat the spin of those with a vested interest in hiding their misdeeds. That is why NewsTrust is valuable, to collect from these diverse sources and offer facts. Thank you.
