Sulayman v. Obama

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• observing that the petitioner’s presence at Taliban-affiliated guesthouses supported the legality of his detention
• finding hearsay evidence unreliable when translated by interpreters of insufficient skill
• declining to credit the petitioner's claim that he traveled to Afghanistan to find a job, a wife and a home because he admitted to interrogators that he \never really looked\ for ajob or a wife and that \he wasn't really that interested in trying to find a job\
• “[T]he Court cannot fathom a situation whereby Taliban fighters would allow an individual to infiltrate their posts near a battle zone unless that person was understood to be a ‘part of the Taliban.’ ”
