DHS activity at Waterloo fairgrounds raises questions --ICE delines to say if whole area will be used as detention center --National Cattle Congress fairgrounds in Waterloo, Iowa, is prepared for a 'federal project.' Federal officials have imposed a news blackout at the National Cattle Congress fairgrounds in Waterloo, where they have leased almost the entire property through May 25. The Waterloo Courier on Sunday reported that contractors have installed generators adjacent to many buildings at the fairgrounds. In addition, windows on many buildings have been covered up, blocking views inside. A number of mobile-home-size trailers have been transported to the privately owned grounds. Doug Miller, general manager of the Cattle Congress, declined Monday to release a copy of his group's rental contract with U.S. General Services Administration. He also indicated he was in the dark about what's happening inside the fairgrounds.

Adviser Barred From Detainee Case Over Bias Concerns The Pentagon's top legal adviser in the Office of Military Commissions was disqualified late last week from participating in the prosecution of a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by a Navy officer who ruled that the adviser exerted improper influence over a team of prosecutors and may have compromised the case's fairness. Capt. Keith J. Allred, who is presiding over hearings in preparation for the military's 'trial' of an alleged driver for Osama bin Laden, determined that Air Force Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Hartmann was too closely tied to prosecutors. In a 13-page ruling issued Friday, Allred found that Hartmann pressured prosecutors to present certain cases because they were "sexy," suggesting that factors other than a case's merits "were at play." He also found that Hartmann appeared to be pushing for prosecutors to use evidence derived by coercion, something Allred found to be "an effort to influence the professional judgment" of the prosecutors.
