The alleged plotters behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks were back in court this week, but quickly the hearings became less about the accused and more about the court itself. Some unknown entity censored the court’s audio broadcast, which infuriated the defense and the judge, who ordered it not happen again.
The latest round of hearings at the military commission trying 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four co-defendants opened Monday at Guantanamo, but by the end of the day it appeared that the judge was not entirely in control of the proceedings.
