Salim Hamdan says he was subjected to sleep deprivation and was not offered a lawyer; his defense team wants all interrogations stricken. On the first day of his trial at Guantanamo Bay, the Yemeni formally entered a not guilty plea. The jury selected today from a 13-member pool consists of six senior officers, at least one from each service branch. One potential juror who was excused had been at the Pentagon during the 9/11 attacks. The judge ordered that jurors' names not be released; although the lawyers had access to more detail, information discussed in open court was limited.
