Fox news is reporting that in a bizarre moment, the three 9/11 conspirators who are acting as their own attorneys refused to come to court Monday. The prosecution says the men should be forced to attend, even forcibly extracted from their cells, but the judge declined to do so.
A military judge agreed Monday to another delay in the war crimes trial of five Guantanamo prisoners charged in the Sept. 11 attacks.
Army Col. Stephen Henley agreed to the U.S. government’s request for a 60-day continuance, a delay intended to give President Barack Obama’s administration enough time to decide whether it should move the case to a civilian court.

On Wednesday, Jarret Brachman, a former West Point terrorism expert who monitors jihadist Web sites, published images on his blog that appear to be the first photographs of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-described planner of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, at the Guantánamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.
Mr. Brachman, who was director of research at West Point’s Center for Combating Terrorism from 2004 to 2008, made this image available to The Lede and explained that the photographs were spotted last week on jihadist Web sites by a fellow “cyber monitor,” Leah Farrell.
