A key witness at the trial of the first Guantanamo detainee to be tried in the United States cannot testify, a judge ruled Wednesday, because of concerns over torture.
The man on trial, Ahmed Ghailani, told the CIA about the witness while agents were interrogating him, and the government has asked the court to consider everything Ghailani said in CIA custody to have been coerced.
"In these circumstances, the Constitution does not permit (Hussain) Abebe to testify in this criminal trial," Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled Wednesday.
