Motions Hearing in Al-Nashiri: October 24 Session

And we're back . . . to another day of CCTV-broadcasted hearings in the military commission case of United States v. Al-Nashiri. At Guantanamo, there are some lingering concerns about Hurricane Sandy; still, my sense is that our proceedings will go forward at 9 a.m., as scheduled.  Assuming they do, the first order of business will be an on-the-record chat between Judge Pohl and the accused, regarding the latter's right to attend pre-trial sessions in person. Posts will be up in our Events Coverage section throughout the day.
