Let's Go to Guantanamo! An On-the-Ground Perspective on the 9/11 Trial

This talk focuses on the military commission trial for Khaled Sheikh Muhammad and four other men accused of responsibility for the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a case often referred to as "the trial of the century." Lisa Hajjar will offer a first-hand perspective on what it is like to go to Guantanamo (in her case, as a journalist), and the critical and contentious issues that this case raises. These include not only how the government is striving to pursue accountability for 9/11, but also the fact that all five defendants were held for years in secret prisons and tortured by the CIA. Because of the important role played by the CIA, everything surrounding this case is shrouded in secrecy and complicates the legal process.
