Goal of Hamdan Trial: Credibility
Prosecutors Seek Slam-Dunk Conviction

"GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba -- Salim Ahmed Hamdan did not want to fight.

The man who wound up chauffeuring the world's most wanted terrorist emerged from an al-Qaeda camp in 1999 unimpressed with the weapons training he had received, according to an FBI agent who testified for the prosecution at Hamdan's military trial last week.

Agent Craig Donnachie said Hamdan told him during an interrogation in 2002 that he "had no interest in fighting after completing his time" at the camp in Afghanistan.

Asked by defense lawyers whether Hamdan had committed "to engage in terrorist acts,'' Donnachie responded: "He did not."

Perhaps even more important to the administration, observers say, is a smoothly run, credible trial, with few theatrics, that results in an easy conviction -- even if the defendant is one of seven former drivers for Osama bin Laden. "
