Judges health emergency causes cancellation of 9/11 hearing at Guantánamo

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba The Pentagon abruptly ended a 9/11 pretrial hearing Tuesday because the judge in the case had a health emergency, war court spokesmen said.
Marine Col. Keith Parrellas abrupt recess presented another pretrial delay in efforts to try the five men accused of plotting al-Qaidas Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that killed 2,976 people in New York, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. The next hearings are scheduled for late March.
Court personnel declined to describe Parrellas health emergency, citing privacy, but his wife and other war court personnel said the colonel had a detached retina that required surgery in the United States. The judge was expected to be airlifted late Tuesday. Parrellas health situation was not life-threatening, but required emergency surgery, said defense attorney Jay Connell.
But on Wednesday morning, the Marine colonel was still on the island awaiting evacuation, his wife, Jennifer Parella, told McClatchy. She said there was a dispute between the military health provider, Tricare, and an air ambulance firm that, she said, was standing by to take him from Guantánamo to the United States
The transport company is ready to come get him, but Tricare isnt making payment, or is haggling about payment or offering to make payment after the fact, Jennifer Parrella said. Im reaching to anybody I can to get him on a plane. He just needs to be in the United States and be in surgery. Now his eye is starting to darken, the fear is hes going to lose his sight.
Detached retina? darken?
