    Nobody has a dementia diagnosis yet, but the first hip and knee replacements are on the horizon at Guantánamo Bay prison. My dispatch about the plans and challenges ahead.

  3. Here's a link to the public portion of the secret filing. It's so classified that the case's top-secret-cleared defense lawyers can't read the declaration either. You decide whether the prosecutors sound annoyed with the judge, Army Col. Lanny Acosta Jr.

  4. Remember this? So, last week, war crimes prosecutors filed a 112-page, classified justification for years of invocations of the National Security privilege in the USS Cole capital case. It's a secret sworn statement by someone who's name is a secret too.

  5. The 9/11 defendants' pretrial hearings are in a one-week recess at Guantanamo -- time enough for those returning to the court compound on Saturday to clean up and catch up on reading and writing. The big picture so far.

  10. It is pack-out day at Guantanamo Bay. The 9/11 case is in a one-week recess following two busy weeks of testimony from the black sites. The judge has put the torture question on the back burner, perhaps until March. Meantime, here is one big takeaway...

  11. Mr. Sowards again asks the judge to bring Dr. Jessen back into court and issue an order. Lawyers Walter Ruiz and Cheryl Bormann for Mustafa al Hawsawi and Walid bin Attash appeared to try to join the request but... it looks like the judge walked off the bench. Recess to February.

  12. Judge Cohen says he doesn't have the jurisdiction to "get him down to foreign country," that he heard Dr. Jessen's vow earlier today to never again return to Guantanamo Bay and says: "Hopefully he will reconsider." Colonel Cohen says he can look at his subpoena power later.

  13. In court now, the hearing is ending and Dr. Jessen isn't done. He has, however, left the courtroom. KSM attorney Gary Sowards wants the judge to order the psychologist to return to Gitmo to resume testifying, probably in March. He calls video-link testimony second rate, faulty.

  14. Dr. Jessen calls the "EIT" program misunderstood: "The objective of this program was not to beast people. The point was to get detainees to the point where they could willingly engage in dialogue with CIA analysts at some level. At a level that was not angry and unproductive."

  15. About that last time... Dr. Mitchell testified last week that he did it as a demonstration for a visiting delegation from CIA headquarters. "Some of the folks who were watching were tearful."

  16. He saw Abu Zubaydah differently. "Every time that Zayn was waterboarded I could tell that he disliked it very much. And I think that the last time that occurred, I saw a higher level of fear and anxiety in him than I ever saw in KSM. He just wasn't as composed about that."

  17. Dr. Jessen is quieter, less bombastic than his black site business partner, James Mitchell. But he makes the same points. He called KSM "a strong guy, a resilient guy," who was able to thwart the waterboard's effectiveness on the second time. "He coped with it very effectively."

  18. Dr. Jessen: "What we wanted was them to talk and give information that the analysts study over and collate and try to get intelligence." "Any time they didn't want the techniques to be applied, all they had to do was talk."

  19. Besides, Dr. Jessen said, a black site prisoner could stop his captors for doing these things to them. "All they had to do was talk basically." Adds: "What the program was designed to do was to gather intel. We weren't concerned about confessions."

  20. In the black sites, he said, the techniques "were applied more frequently and with more energy" than U.S. troops did to each other in the SERE program. In the "advanced capture courses," he said, U.S. troops "experience the same but not as many times."

  21. Dr. Jessen on applying the SERE techniques to black site prisoners: Those been used for decades with no problems. He said he was "completely comfortable recommending the use of them, and still am."
