Attorney Dennis Edney speaks to a law class in San Francisco, Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2008. Edney has reason to be frustrated, for six years, and for no pay, he's represented Omar Khadr, the next prisoner at Guantanamo Bay to face trial in a military tribunal system that the lawyer calls a sham. So he's stepping outside the courtroom, speaking out about his client and hoping to win a victory in another venue. His goal is to sway public opinion and pressure the Canadian government into bringing his Toronto-born client home. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)
