U.S. vs Salim Hamdan

The first of the U.S. military's war crimes tribunals started Monday and on the undercard is Osama bin Laden's former chauffeur, Salim Hamdan, 37, of Yemen. He has pleaded not guilty. Hamdan was gill-netted in 2001 in Afghanistan and is charged with conspiracy and providing material support for terrorism. Evidence taken under coercion will not be admissible. And some of the prospective jurors were connected to the strike on the Pentagon. This trial actually constitutes a test of the military tribunal system and in the event of an acquittal, Hamdan is still unlikely to be released from custody. Next up on the title card will be Khalid Sheik Mohammed. We'll see how that bout shapes up.
