September 11 victims' families and defendants' lawyers meet in Guantanamo

GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Reuters) - Watching the U.S. military tribunal hearings for the men accused of plotting the September 11 attacks can be gut-wrenching for the victims' families, some of whom are still receiving their relatives' newly identified remains thanks to improved DNA testing unavailable a decade ago.

Some family visitors have said they are galled to see American lawyers, including some U.S. military lawyers paid with their tax money, fighting vigorously in court to safeguard the rights of what one called "these monsters."
