Bin Laden driver swears loyalty

The first prisoner tried at the Guantanamo war crimes court pledged a loyalty oath to Osama bin Laden, according to a US naval investigator whose testimony on Wednesday might not be heard by the jury.

The judge in the case said prosecutors missed a deadline to turn over evidence, so now they must prove that defendant Salim Hamdan's statements were obtained without coercion and abuse.
