[edit intro]

The Al Qaida Plan is a 90-minute movie produced by self-described counterterrorism expert Evan Kohlmann.^[1]^[2] It was sponsored by the Office of Military Commissions, to serve as evidence during the Guantanamo Military Commissions. According to Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald:

He modeled the video after The Nazi Plan, an instructional movie shown at the late 1940s Nuremberg tribunals for the most senior Nazi leadership.

According to Reuters the Office of Military Commissions paid Kohlmann $20,000 to make the film.^[3] It is 90 minutes long.

Initially Captain Keith Allred, the President of Salim Ahmed Hamdan's Military Commission ruled that the film would be prejudicial.^[2] But he reversed this decision.
