Here’s what’s really unbelievable and frightening about this case at this point:

GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Reuters) - A potential mistrial was avoided in the first Guantanamo trial on Tuesday when the U.S. military judge ruled it was too late to challenge his war crimes instructions to the jury deliberating the case of Osama bin Laden’s driver.

But the judge acknowledged he may have erred and prosecutors sought clarification on the law that they said could affect plans to try up to 80 more Guantanamo prisoners.

SO- the judge makes a (major) error in his instructions to the jury- AND says it’s too late to call them back and issue new instructions. This may be a disaster. Or- I’m ovbereacting.

It sounds like the error was in favor of the defendant. Let’s hope they convict anyway, and it will become a moot point.
