Report: White House to Allow Lawyer Access for 14 Gitmo Prisoners.

From Democracynow.org:

The Washington Post is reporting the Bush administration will allow fourteen Guantanamo Bay prisoners the right to request lawyers for the first time since their capture. The move would grant the suspects their first outside contact aside from representatives of the Red Cross. The fourteen are all considered ‘high-value detainees’ transferred from overseas CIA prisons last year. The group includes the alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
