Lawyers for accused embassy bomber Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani told a federal judge yesterday that the government should pay the full price for detaining and mistreating their client at secret prisons and at Guantanamo Bay.
Telling Southern District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan the indictment against Mr. Ghailani should be dismissed on speedy trial grounds, defense attorneys Peter Enrique Quijano and Michael K. Bachrach said the government’s claim that national security demanded the extended detention and interrogation of Mr. Ghailani could not be justified.
