Though it is uncertain how a federal court might rule on such a motion, in the past judges have upheld the right of Guantanamo prisoners to meet with lawyers, and have taken steps to design the procedures under which that should happen, including preservation of the attorney-client privilege...

Not all are convinced: one of Wall Street's leading law firms, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, recently warned investment-banking clients to steer clear of online-gaming companies because of concerns about their legality in the U.S. Should the DOJ decide to crack down, the gaming firms, at least, have an exit.
