GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba — Lawyers for five alleged al-Qaeda terrorists accused of planning the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks have been subject to “real-time monitoring” of their Internet activities by government officials, a military court here heard Wednesday. The complaints raise fresh concerns about a justice system previously hit by revelations that an eavesdropping system was hidden in a fake smoke detector in a room where attorneys met their clients and that defense e-mails were turned over to the prosecution. A military tribunal here also heard that extensive computer problems, which have previously delayed proceedings, have worsened, with files vanishing and e-mails failing to arrive. Defense lawyers have been ordered by the chief defense counsel in the military commissions system to stop using Defense Department systems for confidential files when working in government offices in Rosslyn. Instead, they have been forced to rely on a nearby Starbucks and hotel lobbies to communicate with colleagues. articles.washingtonpost/2013-09-18/world/42179509_1_defense-team-defense-lawyers-e-mails
