That and reading the summary (of cavalry practices) in its entirety was the evi dence we used.” Prowse has said that he was no longer a mem ber of the cavalry in October 2002 when viola tions were received, and that he had not been involved in the hazing activities described by the Department of Student Life. Sosh-Lightsy will continue her testimony Tuesday at 9 a.m. in the 272nd District Courtroom at the Brazos County Courthouse. FBI Continued from page 1 According to Burden, Butler said “You have no choice” but to notify those officials. Prosecutors allege that Butler reported the vials missing in retaliation for and to deflect attention from difficulties with the university’s Institutional Review Board. Butler’s defense team has portrayed him as a dedicated researcher who was doing plague research for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Army and the Food and Drug Administration. His attorneys say he did nothing criminal. His defense lawyer on Monday argued the professor should have been exempt from filing certain government fonns upon his return from Tanzania because his specimen were diag nostic in nature, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported in its Tuesday editions. “It appears Dr. Butler is doing what they requested he do, doesn’t it?” Chuck Meadows asked Mark Hemphill, an official with the CDC. Hemphill replied that CDC and Army people with whom Butler had dealt had no authori ty to let him circumvent federal rules governing possession and transportation of agents such as Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes plague. Prosecutor Dick Baker later asked Hemphill if anyone within a government agency told Butler that he did not need proper per mits and licenses to transport the potentially deadly bacteria. Hemphill responded that no one had. He said even CDC investiga tors with samples of the SARS virus following this year’s Asia outbreak had to properly register them before returning to the United States. Also Monday, FBI agent Shannon Fish testified during defense cross-examination that Butler was cooperative and admitted he accidentally destroyed the samples, but only after being told that was what investigators concluded must have been what happened. The trial is to resume Wednesday, following a break for Veterans’ Day. NEWS IN BRIEF High court agrees to hear first anti-terror case WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear its first case arising from the war on terrorism, an appeal asking whether foreigners held at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba may contest their captivity in American courts. The case concerns more than 650 prisoners held essentially incommunicado at Guantanamo Bay. The Bush administration maintains that because the men were picked up overseas on suspicion of terrorism and are being held on foreign land they may be detained indefinitely without charges or trial. The men, mostly Muslims, have no access to lawyers or other outsiders, and do not even know they are the subject of the case the court agreed to hear, according to lawyers who have taken up their cause. The detentions are part of a global campaign against terrorism that has outraged civil liberties groups and left some U.S. allies grumbling.
