Surprise Witness For Bin Laden Driver
Surprise Witness For Bin Laden Driver
In a stunning turnaround, the former chief military prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay said today he would be a defense witness for the driver of Osama bin Laden.

Maybe I missed something but how is this a new scandal? It sounds like the man is trying to set the record straight.

The details of political pressure shouldn't be any kind of revelation either. Guantanamo has always been the most obvious pile of crap to the whole war on terror. The prisoners there are not US citizens they should not be treated as such. They should however be given a fair chance. If there is no evidence to charge them they should be released. Isn't that what this story is about? Trying to avoid railroading all those people simply for the sake of appearances.

You're right, the scandal isn't new, it's one continuous clusterf**k. What is new is another person, from within the mechanism, trying to get the word out and likely will be suppressed.

He is getting the word out, he's being called as a witness.

It says the justice department might suppress him, I'm betting on it.
