| Brig Gen John G. Baker, USMC |
A military judge today found U.S. Marine Corps Brigadier General
John G. Baker, the chief defense counsel of the Guantánamo military commissions, in contempt. General Baker has been sentenced to 21 days' confinement and a $1000 fine. The judge refused to afford him the right to speak at the hearing. Details
here.
An unofficial, unauthenticated transcript of the contempt proceedings can be found
here.
It also seems there may be further activity with respect to a proposal to impose a gag order on commission counsel and the media. Details
