USA: 9/11 defendants warned on lack of access to classified information and other disadvantages of self-representation

Two of the five men accused of orchestrating the attacks of 11 September 2001 appeared separately in front of a military judge yesterday to be questioned about their decision to represent themselves. There were indications that one or more of the defendants may have felt coerced by the other defendants into opting for self-representation.
