Drawings provide rare glimpse of the 9/11 trials

There is only one way the world can see the 9/11 military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — through the drawings of courtroom artist Janet Hamlin.

Since 2006, Hamlin has been among the few media observers of the legal proceedings at Guantanamo. She was present at the pre-trial hearings of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged ringleader of the Sept. 11 attacks, and his four accused co-conspirators. While other reporters turn their observations into words, Hamlin works speedily to capture the likenesses of the main players in the courtroom, including some witnesses who have refused to be photographed. She has also drawn some family members of Sept. 11 victims who chose to come to Guantanamo to view the proceedings.

Hamlin's work has been compiled in a new book, "Sketching Guantanamo." View some of her courtroom drawings.
