A photograph of a sketch by courtroom artist Janet Hamlin, reviewed by the U.S. military, shows defendant Salim Hamdan (L) sitting with his defense team during testimony on day three of his trial inside the war crimes courthouse at Camp Justice, the legal complex of the U.S. Military Commissions, at Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base, in Cuba, July 23, 2008. Hamdan, the former driver for Osama bin Laden, is the first Guantanamo prisoner to face trial before the controversial tribunal at the remote base on Cuba. He faces life in prison if convicted. Hamdan overheard the al Qaeda leader saying he was happy about the death toll in the Sept. 11 attacks and thought the hijacked plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was shot down, according to one of Hamdan's interrogators.
