Resource information on understanding Guantanamo

NPR has a very nice resource linked in the title that provides some helpful information for those of us trying to follow the details of Guantanamo who don't have an extensive background in law or legal terminology. It's great to see them do this rather than do as some media does, give the terms then have the person have to use google to try to discover one source that actually puts it into English. One example from the NPR piece:

What is habeas corpus?

"Habeas corpus" is a Latin phrase meaning "you have the body." It's an ancient concept. In old English law, it was used to refer to a judge's order (or "writ") to bring a prisoner before a court to determine whether his imprisonment was unlawful.

In modern times, death row inmates have used this process to get access to federal court to challenge their confinement. In 1996, however, Congress passed a law cutting back on habeas petitions in death-penalty cases, reasoning that those appeals had become so numerous that they were eroding the effectiveness of the death penalty.
