World: The judge at the Mumbai attacks trial is really throwing us for a loop

  • This trial is full of suprises. First, the guy has to confess to being involved in the Mumbai attacks. (I know, right? Who does that.) And now, the judge has put a gag order on his latest testimony, meaning all the awesome journalists over there can’t write about it and we can’t read about it. No fair. source
