Guantanamo judge’s secret order on secret motion is so secret defense lawyers can’t see it
In the latest installment of the Guantanamo war court's most mysterious legal filings — two motions so secret that the public can't know their titles — an Army judge has issued a classified order to prosecutors that even the defense lawyers can't see.
The Pentagon disclosed the existence of Army Col. James L. Pohl's judicial order dated June 4 in a recent website notation in the capital case of the accused USS Cole bomber.
Defense attorneys in Guantanamo's 9/11 death-penalty case say Pohl issued a classified order on June 4 in an identical filing. Its existence has yet to be disclosed on the military commissions website whose motto is "Fairness, Transparency, Justice."

More secrets around 9/11. IMO we have NO evidence to prove any of these men were involved in 9/11. How do terrorist control our military? Why fly over military bases that may shoot you down? Oh that's right, box cutters.
This is their way to be sure we will NEVER know the truth about 9/11.
If I were their attorney, I would find some of the "dead" 19 terrorist and put them on the stand. I would prove that fragile planes can't penetrate steel and concrete. Our case against these men wouldn't play on Forensic Files and make sense.
