1) HAMDI v. RUMSFELD

    "What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done.
    Nothing is new under the sun. Even the thing of which we say, 'See,
    this is new!' has already existed in the ages that preceded us."

                                          -- Ecclesiastes 1:9-10

3) John J. Gibbons

This article has some interesting behind the scenes details on both Al Odah /
Rasul and Padilla...

Note: the motion for divided argument by the Padilla team mentioned here was
subsequently denied. I don't think it matters much -- they're ready, so is
Hamdi, and both teams got a good read on the court this week.
