GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — For the third time in two days, a Guantanamo Bay prisoner has been ejected from a military courtroom on the U.S. naval base for arguing with the judge presiding over the Sept. 11 case.

Ramzi Binalshibh was led out of the courtroom Wednesday by troops during a pretrial hearing after ignoring warnings to stop speaking. Binalshibh was accusing guards of making noises in his cell to keep him awake. He says it is intentional sleep deprivation that amounts to torture. He made the same claims Tuesday and was ejected twice from the court.
