Gitmo Judge Allows Disputed Interrogation At Trial

First Guantanamo Bay Trial Underway

 CBS News Interactive: Gitmo Tribunals

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) ― U.S. prosecutors will be allowed to use a disputed interrogation as evidence at the first Guantanamo war crimes trial.

The military judge in the trial of a former driver for Osama bin Laden ruled Thursday that jurors can hear the interrogation despite defense objections.

Lawyers for Salim Hamdan say the Yemeni prisoner was coerced. And they deny he admitted taking a loyalty oath to bin Laden while working for him in Afghanistan.

Hamdan faces up to life in prison if convicted of conspiracy and aiding terrorism.
