UNITED STATES: Prosecutors asked a military judge in Guantanamo Bay toay to reconsider his order to release to defence attorneys’ details about a detainee’s experience in secret CIA prisons after his arrest in Yemen.

Army Colonel James Pohl heard the arguments at a pretrial hearing for Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.

He ordered prosecutors last month to turn over details about Mr Nashiri’s treatment after a CIA report said he had been waterboarded and threatened with a gun and power drill.
