SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- A spokeswoman for the Guantanamo Bay prison says the commander has signed a disputed order requiring officials to review communications between lawyers and prisoners charged with organizing the Sept. 11 attacks.
Navy Cmdr. Tamsen Reese says the commander considered the concerns of defense lawyers and made some modifications. But Reese said Wednesday that Navy Rear Adm. David Woods kept a provision requiring that legal mail be screened by a security review team.
Deputy Chief Defense Counsel Bryan Broyles said lawyers still believe the order violates attorney-client privilege. Broyles says lawyers will ask a judge to reject the order when one is assigned to the case. Five prisoners are expected to be arraigned at the U.S. base in Cuba in 2012.

I'm just in a state of shock they have ever had privacy to begin with. This isn't a punk in a police interrogation room scrambling for legal strategy. These are battlefield combatants and terrorists who would, by their own words, kill every last one of us in the most creative ways they can come up with, if give half a chance. That isn't all of them...but covers enough of them.

"That isn't all of them...but covers enough of them."
That's why there's due process. Or at least that's why there used to be due process. So those locked up down there who've done nothing (except get tortured) don't matter. Is that it?
