Update of trial situation

Requests additional legal personnel from the United States to help out the legal staff. Indicates that representatives for the accused in Sugamo Prison are demanding their clients be released if they are not going to be prosecuted. Also states that Tavenner has had Major Pedro Lopez remove the most objectionable parts of his opening statement for the trial. Points out possible problems the prosecution may encounter in their presentation of the case because the Tribunal indicated that they disliked the length of evidence being proposed and therefore it may be truncated. This would mean that the prosecution would have to have more evidence on hand for individual cases -- another reason more legal personnel were required.
