>> P. Sabin Willett is an attorney, novelist,  a partner at the Boston law firm
>> of 
>> Bingham McCutchen LLP, and is best known as a defense lawyer for U.S.
>> Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.   Prior to 2005,  Willett had no experience
>> in military law and had never handled a habeas corpus matter as his
>> expertise was in commercial and bankruptcy litigation.  However, in late
>> 2004 and early 2005,  he grew increasingly concerned about what was.
>> happening at Guantanamo Bay.  In early 2005, Willett¹s firm volunteered
>> to represent Uighurs- Muslims from a Central Asian region controlled by
>> Communist China.  Since that time, Bingham McCutchen has devoted
>>  thousands of hours to the cases.  Willett has visited the Guantanamo
>> detainment camp eight
>> times advocating on behalf of prisoners held by the United States  as part of
>> the War on Terror.
>> They have filed briefs and argued cases in the United States District Court,
>> the Court of Appeals
>> for the District of Columbia, and the Supreme Court.  They have obtained the
>> release of three
>> out of twelve clients, including one of Uighur parentage who is now home in
>> Taif, Saudi Arabia,
>> and two Uighurs now in Albania.  Nine prisoners remain at Guantanamo, and
>> Willett and his firm
>> will argue their case on May 15 in the Court of Appeals.
>> 
>> Sabin lives in Natick, MA with his wife Martha. He has frequently written and
>> spoken on 
>> Guantanamo.  He received a degree in Classics from Harvard College in 1979,
>> and a Juris Doctor
>> from Harvard Law School in 1983.  Willet has published three novels, most
>> recently Present
>> Value (Random House Publishing, 2003).
