The CMCR has released handy "preview" documents for tomorrow's en banc proceedings in al-Bahlul and Hamdan. They give bios for all the judges, list the attorneys involved, give a summary of the issues, note the address and room number for the oral argument, and so forth. Here is the document for al-Bahlul and here is the one for Hamdan.
