It's a snowy day here at the Fort Meade CCTV facility.  Lawfare's in the house, for the first of this eight-day, pre-trial motions hearing in United States v. Al-Nashiri.  Same format as always: dispatches throughout the day, in our "Events Coverage" section, with links to those below. Update [9:32 a.m.]: that was fast.

It's a snowy day here at the Fort Meade CCTV facility.  Lawfare's in the house, for the first of this eight-day, pre-trial motions hearing in United States v. Al-Nashiri.  Same format as always: dispatches throughout the day, in our "Events Coverage" section, with links to those below. Update [9:32 a.m.]: that was fast.  The case has been postponed until 0900 Wednesday, in light of Al-Nashiri's possible desire to have his civilian death penalty lawyer withdraw from the case. 2/17 Motions Hearing #1: Does Al-Nashiri Want Different Defense Counsel?
