ORDER
On June 18, 2009, this Court issued an Order that Petitioner Al-Adahi’s testimony should
be presented in a courtroom open to the public and press. For the reasons which the Court fully
explained in an on-the-record telephone conference with counsel, the Court feels compelled to
rescind that Order. However, it is further
ORDERED, that if and when any Petitioner testifies, a transcript shall be prepared
immediately and shall be reviewed and redacted by the appropriate agency within a 24 hour period;
and it is further
ORDERED, that the Government, through the appropriate agency, videotape any such
testimony and maintain copies of the complete testimony as given, as well as a redacted version of
that testimony.
