A lawyer acting on behalf of the former Guantánamo prisoner Murat Kurnaz is taking the Pentagon to court to try to force them to hand over vital secret files.According to a report in the Wednesday edition of the German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel, Baher Azmy, Kurnaz's US lawyer, is hoping to secure the release of documents that would exonerate the German-born Turkish citizen. "There are a whole lot of them," Azmy said. "The one problem the government could have with their release is that that it could be embarrassing for them."
