Here’s the story from the WSJ’s Jess Bravin, who writes that Hamdan “bowed his head and appeared to weep softly after the verdict was read in the windowless courtroom built inside an old aircraft control building.”
According to Michael Navarre, who writes for a military justice blog called the CAAFlog, Hamdan’s status as a “peripheral” al Qaeda player made him an attractive guinea pig for the military commission experiment."
