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.
