In court now, the Cole case judge has scheduled testimony this week from Ali Hamza al Bahlul, a convict here serving life as a former Al Qaeda propagandist. It's related to whether Mr. Bahlul's past statements can be used at the Cole trial, if the prisoner refuses to testify.

Good morning from U.S. Navy base Guantanamo Bay, where you can still spot traces of the damage left by Hurricane Melissa. The USS Cole case hearing starts in a closed session today -- no defendant, no public. It should open for some discussion of pretrial motions later today.
