When detainee Mohammed Al-Adahi testified via secure video link in June from Guantánamo Bay, the Department of Defense was supposed to record his testimony, on orders from U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler. Al-Adahi was testifying remotely for his habeas corpus hearing being held in Washington, DC, to challenge his continued confinement, and Kessler wanted a record of the testimony for possible release to the general public. But Pentagon officials did not tape Al-Adahi, claiming a miscommunication error caused the mistake. Last Thursday, Kessler found the Defense Department in contempt of court for failing to videotape the testimony of Al-Adahi, who was ordered released in August but still remains at the naval detention facility in Cuba pending an appeal by the U.S. government.
