Gitmo detainee's attorney: Women should dress modestly at their trials

Attorney Cheryl Bormann, 52, who is from Chicago and is not Muslim, said she wore the modest garment that revealed only her face to show respect for the religious sensitivities of her client, Yemeni terror suspect Walid bin Attash.

Bormann asked the court to order the other women present at the hearing to dress more modestly so as not to distract the defendants, who would be “committing a sin under their faith” by looking at them.

According to The Washington Post, chief military prosecutor Brig. Gen. Mark Martins deemed the request not worthy of a response.
