Separate handwritten statement that defense counsel described as repudiating AQAP propaganda urging attacks

Bruck described a September 2014 handwritten statement by the defendant repudiating AQAP propaganda urging further attacks, and distinguished it from the remorse statement associated with a plea offer. He said the defense sought permission to publicize it because special administrative measures prevented release. Weinreb said the government declined to use it because it believed publication would not benefit public safety.
