Pentagon-paid civilian defense lawyer Cheryl Borman, who is defending accused 9/11 co-conspirator Walid bin Attash, appears in this courtroom sketch, wearing a headscarf and abaya at the arraignment of the five accused 9/11 co-conspirators at Guantanamo Bay on Saturday. At one point, she asked the judge to order all female attorneys on the case to wear similar garb so her client would not sin by seeing them in Western clothes. The five defendants are in the background.
