GUANTANAMO BAY — Only two reporters actually got into the courtroom where Omar Khadr’s pre-trial hearing will take place to suppress his statements to interrogators. (I wasn’t one of the reporters: my lottery for the pool coverage had me heading over this afternoon.) But Army Lt. Col. Jon Jackson, one of Khadr’s military lawyers, just ventured forth to tell the press corps not to bother: the hearing is delayed.
How come? Because of yesterday’s late-breaking release of the Manual for the military commissions. Col. Pat Parrish, the judge hearing the case, ordered a delay until 1 p.m. so that prosecution and defense counsel (and, perhaps, he himself) can familiarize themselves with the Manual’s prescriptions for the commissions’ rules of evidence and procedure.
I’m in the afternoon pool to sit in the courtroom. There’s no way to communicate with the outside world inside the super-secure courtroom. (I can’t even tweet!) So I’ll have to update you from the hearing after the session concludes, probably in the early evening.
An Autocar report revealed that TVR’s upcoming model will be equipped with a Corvette engine. The owner of TVR, Nikolai Smolenski, said that the revival vehicle will be built in Germany and that Gullwing, the maker of AC cars, is likely to handle its production.
After a few disappointing days in the App Catalog, the apps have roared back with a vengeance. Between new apps and updated apps we broke nearly 100 entries from our last overview. And there’s some good stuff in there, including plenty of games (like Gameloft’s Driver). Of course, games aren’t the only thing to the webOS platform, as we also get new calculators, a unique persistent note-taking app in Jot It, and some fun ways to mix up your, *ahem* dating life. Now I’ve got your interest, eh? Head on after the break to check out the list.
