Guantánamo hearing into FBI infiltration abruptly cancelled

Court officials canceled a two-day pretrial hearing for suspects in the September 11 attacks on Monday at the US prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a US army spokesman said.
The hearing, intended to examine allegations the FBI tried to infiltrate legal defense teams, according to a docket on a Pentagon website. It would have been the first such proceeding since a US Senate report on CIA torture was released last week.
No reason was given for the cancellation.
Judge James Pohl, an army colonel, ruled in July that no conflict of interest arose for defense attorneys from the FBI approaching a security officer for a defense team.
