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.

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. 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).
