32 Approximately 181 are known to remain at the base. Higham, & Finn, , supra note 27. Several have sued to remain at the camp rather than be returned home. See Justices Decide US May Send Two Detainees Back to Algeria , N.Y. Times, July 18, 2010 Google Scholar, at A15.

Detainees drawn from the battlefield in Afghanistan are, of course, a different matter than Al Qaeda-linked detainees captured outside zones of conventional combat.
34 A newer facility at Parwan, near Bagram, is intended to replace the Bagram detainment facility.

36 Transfer to Bagram is probably no solution to the existing detainee problem at Guantánamo, however, since under conventional federal jurisdiction doctrine, the right to habeas would automatically follow the detainees to Bagram.

The executive may also find it more attractive to transfer detention responsibilities to foreign governments, thereby avoiding entanglements with U.S. courts altogether.
