Head Military Prosecutor admits under oath what we already knew
Of COURSE the tribunals were political! If Bush can corrupt the DOJ, and homeland security, these kangaroo military tribunals are just another example of the cynical audacity of the ugliest presidential administration in US history.
Shout out to WaPo staff writer Josh White for covering this story well. Mr. White has been doing some very good reporting, including the Yoo memo, amongst others. Check out his work.

The Defense Department's former chief prosecutor for terrorism cases appeared Monday at the controversial U.S. detention facility here to argue on behalf of a terrorism suspect that the military justice system has been corrupted by politics and inappropriate influence from senior Pentagon officials.
Sitting just feet from the courtroom table where he had once planned to make cases against military detainees, Air Force Col. Morris Davis instead took the witness stand to declare under oath that he felt undue pressure to hurry cases along so that the Bush administration could claim before political elections that the system was working.
