Former Gitmo Chief Prosecutor Leaves Military

After leaving his post as chief prosecutor for the Gitmo tribunals because the process had become “deeply politicized,” Col. Morris Davis added fuel to the fire when he said that William Haynes, the Pentagon official who later oversaw the tribunals, had told him that “we can’t have acquittals.”

Now Davis is taking a further step, The Washington Post reports: “Col. Morris D. Davis said he submitted retirement papers last week, because of fallout from his criticism of the Guantanamo court and because of family concerns.”

Well, I guess now the Pentagon can’t keep him from testifying before Congress, can it?
