A group of news outlets are pressuring the U.S. military commission at Guantanamo Bay to unseal the plea deal struck earlier this year with the alleged plotters of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York City.
A lawyer on behalf of the seven outlets — which include The Associated Press, NPR, Fox News, NBC News, Washington Post, Univision and The New York Times — argued Friday that the terms of the agreement, which was later revoked by the Pentagon, should be made public.
“It’s just inappropriate to have a knee-jerk reaction and say, ‘Well, we have to keep all this from the press,’ Schulz told commission judge, Air Force Col. Matthew McCall, the AP reported. “Particularly in this context … of one of the most disputed, debated, argued-about prosecutions that have happened in this country involving … the most horrendous crime that ever happened on American soil.”
“People have a right to know what’s happening here, and they have a right to know now, not two or three years from now, or whatever,” he added.
