In this Op-Ed published in the journal Human Events, Eric Patterson argues argues that there are ethical ways for the Obama Administration to recapture a coherent policy framework and global leadership in handling law of war detention of dangerous unlawful enemy combatants. Patterson addresses President Obama's pledge to close Guantanamo Bay and the policy challenges that this presents. He calls on Obama to review US policy surrounding this issue and to call for a new global architecture for defining unlawful, belligerent non-state actors.
