GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Reuters) - A Guantanamo war court judge threatened on Thursday to suspend the case of a Canadian terrorism suspect captured at age 15 if the U.S. government fails to turn over daily records of his detainment. The judge, Army Col. Peter Brownback, ordered prosecutors to give the classified prison-camp records to the military attorney for Omar Khadr, who is now 21 and facing trial on charges of throwing a grenade that killed a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan in 2002.Khadr has said he was mistreated by his U.S. captors. Brownback in March ordered prosecutors to contact the military commanders whose units helped capture and detain Khadr to find out their policies toward the treatment of juveniles. Halting the pretrial proceedings would be an embarrassment to the U.S. government, which is fighting criticisms about years-long delays in establishing a workable and fair trial system for prisoners captured in the war on terrorism launched by the United States after the September 11 attacks. "The government has been beating on the military judge like a drum to set a trial date," Brownback said. But he said he could not do so until pretrial disputes over evidence and other issues are resolved. Prosecutors said the joint military task force that runs the Guantanamo prison has been unwilling to turn over a binder containing the records without making certain deletions, such as the names of guards. But Brownback set a May 22 deadline for handing over the volume, referred to as "Binder 2." "On the 22nd, you all will give them a copy of Binder 2. If you don't have it then at 1700 hours on the 22, we stop," he said. Khadr's trial had been set for May but at an April hearing, Brownback refused to set a new trial date until prosecutors turned over additional evidence.
