According to a report in The Washington Post, the complaints raise fresh concerns about a justice system previously hit by revelations that an eavesdropping system was hidden in a fake smoke detector in a room where attorneys met their clients and that defence e-mails were turned over to the prosecution. A military tribunal in Guantanamo Bay also heard that extensive computer problems, which have previously delayed proceedings, have worsened, with files vanishing and e-mails failing to arrive. Defence lawyers are asking the military judge, Army Colonel James Pohl, to delay pre-trial proceedings in the death penalty case of the five alleged conspirators until technical problems can be fixed. The report quotes David Nevin, lead counsel for Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, as describing it as 'a motion to abate until we have the fundamental tools to practise law in the 21st century'.
