More from Mr. Glaberson at the Times:
Some detainees refuse to see their lawyers, while others decline mail from their lawyers or refuse to provide them information on their cases, according to court documents, writings of some of the detainees and recent interviews.

Do you blame these detainees at Guantanamo for not trusting in the legal help being offered to them at this time by this current administration. Based on personal experience(and I have plenty of that), I wouldn't either. I don't know if the legal help being offered has "ties" with the government or not. But,in a desperate situation, you need to reach out to someone who may be able to help you or at least listen to you. That person may have a sympathetic heart, even if he/she may have outside loyalties. Hopefully, these detainees will be able to trust someone who can help them.

I guess I was wrong. My comments were posted this morning.
