Nashiri confession suppressed

A military judge has suppressed the confession of one of the defendants in the USS Cole bombing military commission case. Carol Rosenberg of The New York Times has the story here. The judge's 50-page decision can be found here. Excerpt from the Times article:

Rear Adm. Aaron C. Rugh, the chief prosecutor for military commissions, did not respond to a question about whether his team would appeal the ruling. With a new judge expected later this year, prosecutors could seek reconsideration at the Guantánamo court or raise the issue with a Pentagon appeals panel, the Court of Military Commissions Review.
