  AP  SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A military judge is considering whether to split off one or more of the defendants and hold separate trials for five Guantanamo Bay prisoners charged  stanley cup in the Sept. 11 attacks, a lawyer for one of the men said Friday.The judge, Army Col. James Pohl, proposed the change in a written order in part because of the difficulty trying to schedule hearings for five defendants and multiple lawyers at the U.S. base in Cuba, said James Connell, a civilian attorney for defendant Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali.Pohl also questioned whether one trial for all five defendants would create a conflict with evidence that could help one defendant while hurting another, Connell said.The judge s order is sealed. As part of the order, the prosecution was ordered to show cause why the cases should not be severed.The Pentagon will not release the order until it has passed through a security review, said Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale, a spokesman for the Guantanamo military commissions.         There are some very specific ethical constraints that prohibit the prosecution from litigating cases in the press,  Breasseale said.Previously, Connell had said he wanted his client s case severed from that of the others, who include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the attacks, and the prosecution wan stanley us ted  stanley deutschland them all tried together.
