Pentagon Declared in Contempt of Court in Gitmo Case
----------------------------------------------------



A federal judge has declared the Pentagon in contempt of court for
failing to videotape a Guantanamo Bay prisoner who’s challenging his
detention. The military had been ordered to record Mohammed Al-Adahi
when he testified from Guantanamo in June. The judge had said Adahi’s
testimony should eventually be made public. The Justice Department is
challenging a court ruling ordering Adahi’s release for a lack of
evidence against him.
