Scott Horton (attorney)

Horton was hired by the Associated Press to represent Bilal Hussein, a photojournalist who had won the Pulitzer Prize and was detained without charges by the US military for over a year. ==Matthew Diaz case==

Horton has written blog posts on the ''Harper's Magazine'' website concerning the case of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp whistleblower Lieutenant Commander Matthew Diaz. ==Prescott Bush and Business Plot==

In July 2007. Horton wrote an article in ''Harper's Magazine'' claiming that Prescott Bush, father of US President George H. W. Bush and grandfather of US president George W. Bush, was involved in the failed 1934 Business Plot, an attempt to remove US President Franklin D. Roosevelt from power. However, no evidence from the source material of the congressional report or from contemporary news reports makes any mention of Bush's involvement. ==Raymond Azar==

On August 28, 2009, Horton asserted that the treatment of Raymond Azar in Bagram Theater Internment Facility in April 2009 by Department of Justice officials was identical to the now-prohibited torture techniques that CIA snatch teams had once used on "high-value detainees" during the war on terror. ==References==
