On 10 July 2008, military commission judge US Marine Colonel Ralph Kohlmann held further proceedings to question the five men accused of orchestrating the attacks of 11 September 2001 about their decision to represent themselves at their forthcoming death penalty trial. In the course of pointing out the disadvantages of representing themselves, and in particular in relation to the question of classified information, the military judge noted that there was a lot of such material.
