Earlier this week, Judge James Pohl issued a new docketing order in U.S. v. Mohammed et al.    Some twenty-five motions will be under consideration at the commission's next session, which will commence on October 15 and conclude four days later.

Earlier this week, Judge James Pohl issued a new docketing order in U.S. v. Mohammed et al.    Some twenty-five motions will be under consideration at the commission's next session, which will commence on October 15 and conclude four days later. Readers will recognize many of the upcoming items from the schedule that Pohl set for this summer's motions hearing.   (That was cancelled at the last minute, on account of a passing hurricane.) One thing we'll be eyeballing at the next session: what new secrecy procedures will look like, now that the government reportedly has dropped its insistence on treating all detainee statements as "presumptively classified."
