In yet another setback, a new defense lawyer says he needs two and a half years to prepare for the 9/11 trial at Guantánamo. That means it's unlikely to begin before next year's 20th anniversary of the attacks.
Bruck was appointed in April after al-Shibh's previous lead attorney, James P. Harrington, asked to leave the case, citing health issues and"incompatibility" with his client. Bruck officially began full-time work on the case July 1.
It's the latest of many setbacks at Guantánamo's problem-plagued military court and prison, which have cost U.S. taxpayers more than six billion dollars. In April, the judge in the Sept. 11 case, Air Force Col. W. Shane Cohen, left after nine months on the job, and the head of the military court, Christian Reismeier, moved to a different role after being in his position for less than a year.
