Guantanamo dogged by new controversy after mishandling of e-mails
http://j.mp/16XlK03 (Washington Post)
The mishandling of the e-mails was detected when IT specialists were
conducting a search of the government's computer system on behalf of
prosecutors in a particular case. When they did so, they came across
not only the e-mails they were seeking but also e-mails between
defense lawyers. Defense attorneys said military IT personnel
unsuccessfully tried to refine their search parameters two more times
- and in each case discovered more confidential defense material. In
a separate controversy, defense counsel recently complained that huge
volumes of work files were lost when the Defense Department attempted
to upgrade its network and mirror at Guantanamo Bay the computer
system that is available to defense lawyers handling detainee cases in
the Washington area. "Entire files, months of work was just gone,"
said Navy Cmdr. Stephen C. Reyes, an attorney for Nashiri. "I have no
evidence of any nefarious conduct, but it demonstrates again that we
don't have confidence that our files and communications are secure."
