Back in April, I posted this motion by habeas attorney David Remes in Paracha v. Obama, asking for the ability to access Wikileaked material like everyone else can. I had not noticed this response yesterday from the government until Steve Aftergood posted it today. The government argues, in essence, that Remes' motion should be rejected because it has implemented new rules that allow him and his colleagues reasonable access to the material.
