...lovely young war widow; The Other (1972), a spectral mood piece about nine-year-old twins involved in murder; and Same Time, Next Year (1978), with Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn as annual adulterers. As his career wore on, and Hollywood jettisoned sentiment and subtlety for sharks and light sabers, Mulligan's aura dimmed. He had outlived the mood he so delicately captured...

If this were done, he says, "avowed terrorists" might walk away "on a technicality." In light of recent Supreme Court decisions making the writ of habeas corpus available to Guantánamo detainees, this is precisely how those detainees are to be tried, regardless of venue.
