Al-Nashiri Coverage Tomorrow, and Motions Hearing Agenda
Folks, a reminder that Ben and I will be making the scene tomorrow at Fort Meade's CCTV facility, and reporting on the upcoming motions session in United States v. Al-Nashiri. The session is set to begin at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and could occupy as many as three days.
Also recall that Judge Pohl entered this amended docketing order, which sets the agenda for the hearing.

Also recall that Judge Pohl entered this amended docketing order, which sets the agenda for the hearing. Expect some back-and-forth about the defense's two classified motions to compel discovery, apparently regarding the defendant's "participation" in the government's rendition, detention and interrogation program (AE 88 and 89); there's also a defense motion to dismiss for defective referral (AE 86), and a the accused's request to disqualify Judge Pohl (AE 84).
