"U.S. Army altered Khadr report; First version said attacker was slain, military court told"

ADVERTISEMENTS

"U.S. Army altered Khadr report; First version said attacker was slain, military court told": Today's edition of The Toronto Globe and Mail contains a front page article that begins, "A U.S. commander made an unexplained change to a key military report that made it support the government's case against Omar Khadr, the Guantanamo Bay tribunal heard yesterday. The report detailed what happened during a 2002 firefight in Afghanistan that left U.S. Sergeant Christopher Speer dead and landed Mr. Khadr at the U.S. detention centre at Guantanamo Bay charged with murder."

The Toronto Star today contains an article headlined "Evidence doctored to implicate Khadr: Lawyer."

In The Los Angeles Times, Carol J. Williams reports that "Pentagon accused of doctoring Guantanamo tribunal evidence; A defense lawyer for an accused Canadian says the account of an attack was altered to support a 'myth' that his client was its sole survivor."

And in The Miami Herald, Carol Rosenberg has articles headlined "Detainee arraigned, says he was abused; Allegations of military abuse increasingly took center stage as the Guantanamo military commissions edged toward full-blown trials" and "Suit seeks complete Gitmo transparency."
