This matter should become clearer once the Office of Military Commissions makes an official announcement. Stay tuned.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for all of them.

An appropriate form of punishment would be to through the prisoner off of a 100 story building in to a large pool of burning aviation fuel.

At the time, he had more than US$2,400 in cash, no return plane ticket and lead hijacker Mohamed Atta was waiting for him, the military has said.

Oh. Okay. Let him go...

What the hell?

Critics of the tribunals have faulted a rule that allows judges to decide whether to allow evidence that may have been obtained with "coercion." U.S. authorities have acknowledged that Mohammed was subjected to waterboarding by CIA interrogators and that al-Qahtani was treated harshly at Guantanamo.

Al-Qahtani in October 2006 recanted a confession he said he made after he was tortured and humiliated at Guantanamo.

The alleged torture, which he detailed in a written statement, included being beaten, restrained for long periods in uncomfortable positions, threatened with dogs, exposed to loud music and freezing temperatures and stripped nude in front of female personnel.


If this man was tortured by the government to extract evidence of a crime then they might as well have handed him a "Get Out of Jail Free" card.

Unfortunately, he was probably guilty.
