Revealing mistake: When the McDonald's bag could be seen setting on the desk, it was about as high as Slahi's chest. When there was an angled view of Slahi from the chest up, the McDonald's bag was as high as his neck (and, obviously, not setting directly on the table). (00:20:20 - 00:21:23)

Trivia: Translations for the Latin HABEAS CORPUS include "show me the body", "you have the body", "you should have the body", "produce the body", and "you shall have the body." The "body" in question refers to a person being held in detention or confinement and "show the body" refers to the judge/court being requested (petitioned) to bring the person to court to ascertain/assess the legality of the person's deprivation of liberty. No person should be deprived of liberty without "due process of law."
