2) NEW ORDER In re GUANTANAMO DETAINEES CASES

The Calendar and Case Managment Committee yesterday issued an order coordinating
all of the Guantanamo Cases in regard to motions on the existing protective 
order and procedures under the management of US Magistrate Judge Alan Key - and 
I do mean ALL 173 cases, of which 13 are closed. The order itself provides a 
complete list, and I've prepared a text version also.
