Anything They Can Do, I Can Do Cheaper

When big U.S. law firms set their sights on the growing demand for legal services by international businesses, their instinct seems to be: merge with an established foreign firm and overwhelm the competition.

Bagram's Black Hole

On its face, the legal status of detainees at Bagram, a U.S.-controlled air base leased from the government of Afghanistan, appears to be much like that of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. military station leased from Cuba.
