| U.S. To Bar Reporters From Terror Hearings |
| 2007-03-10 |
| Reporters will be barred from hearings that begin Friday in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for 14 terror suspects transferred last year from secret CIA prisons, officials said Tuesday. Interest in the 14 is particularly high because of their alleged links to the al Qaeda network. Among them is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. He was captured in Pakistan in March 2003. A New York-based human rights group that represents one of the 14 men accused the Pentagon of designing "sham tribunals." The organization contended that its client, Majid Khan, has been denied access to his lawyers since October 2006 "solely to prevent his torture and abuse from becoming public" and to protect complicit foreign governments. U.S. authorities say Khan was being groomed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed for an attack inside the United States. "We might expect this in Libya or China, but not America," the Center for Constitutional Rights said in a statement. It said Khan was subjected to CIA interrogation methods that amounted to torture. The top priority to clean up and inject professionalism into the corrupt legal profession is enact a law that lawyers must prove the allegations they so viciously throw around. |

| #2 enact a law that lawyers must prove the allegations they so viciously throw around. I'm more inclined to the adoption of the Gowachin Legal Code: where a losing lawyer is killed. |
