 \n\nThe first dramatic reading of civil rights lawyer Michael Meltsner's s
 earing depiction of how and why the nation found itself brutally treating 
 the men it detained-- some with good reason\, some with stunning caprice--
  after 9/11. The play confronts the government rationalizations\, the biza
 rre military hearings and the willful blindness of the public to what was 
 happening behind barbed wire. Brendan Shea of the American Repertory Theat
 re called IN OUR NAME a &ldquo\;living essay&rdquo\; in which the United S
 tates actions at Guantanamo are put on trial. &ldquo\;The play's vibrant a
 nd visceral language is a great vehicle &hellip\;to communicate the comple
 x issues.&rdquo\; The author is well known in the legal world for his repr
 esentation of hundreds of death row inmates and for the case that restored
  Mohammad Ali's right to box.\n\nA post play panel will include: \n\nSteph
 en Oleskey\, a partner at the firm of WilmerHale in Boston\, and since 200
 4 co-lead counsel in the case of Boumediene v. Bush\, a federal habeas cor
 pus suit that successfully challenged the imprisonment of six men from Bos
 nia without charge or trial at Guantanamo Bay. Following the first-ever Gu
 antanamo habeas trial in November 2008\, a federal judge ordered five of t
 he six men released immediately. Five of the six have left Guantanamo.\n\n
