"We represent sixteen men detained at the United States Naval Station at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Most of the men have been detained for approximately seven years."
"We have been involved in the Guantánamo related litigation for the last five years."

Page 41:
"We represent fifteen Yemenis, one Pakistani, and one Algerian imprisoned at Guantanamo. Most of the men -- most of whom we have represented since July 2004 -- have been at the prison for more than five years."

In addition, Holder supported President Clinton's pardon of FALN terrorists in 1999:
