Fox News
The seventh judge presiding over the Sept. 11, 2001 hearings at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba is still taking questions about his qualifications since pretrial hearings began on Tuesday.
Air Force Lt. Col. Matthew McCall has faced some skepticism for only having two years of experience as a judge and answered several questions Wednesday about his familiarity with Islam, with the torture detainees underwent at clandestine CIA prisons before they were sent to Gitmo and with the case in general. Two defense attorneys, including the attorney representing Mohammed, again questioned McCall's experience as they did on Wednesday. The other attorney suggested that McCall was "not prepared" to serve as the presiding judge on the case, saying he is "not in a prepared state."More Related News
