Disbarred
Diaz was disbarred, after his release. Initially Diaz`s liscense to practice law had been suspended. When Diaz appealed to the Kansas Supreme Court they took the harsher measure of disbarment -- claiming he revealed information that could have allowed terrorists to identify Guantamao staff -- and claiming Diaz thus opened Guantanamo staff to a fear of retaliation. Diaz`s lawyer, Jack Focht, issued a statment that stated the Kansas Supreme Court, "has a different view of the lawyer's duty to see that the client, even though the client is the United States government, does have a duty to obey the dictates of the United States Supreme Court." Diaz was disbarred on November 21, 2012, and will have to wait seven years before he can request re-instatement.
