From the LA Times:
GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA — Contending that the government had suppressed evidence that could help a young man facing life in prison, a prosecutor has quit the war crimes tribunals here, several military defense lawyers said Wednesday.
Lt. Col. Darrel Vandeveld quit the case — and the Office of Military Commissions — after growing increasingly concerned about the lack of due process afforded to Mohammed Jawad and his legal team, according to Michael J. Berrigan, deputy chief defense counsel for the commissions.
Vandeveld, an Army reservist, said in a four-page declaration filed with the court that “potentially exculpatory evidence has not been provided” to the defense. …
Bravo, LTC Vandeveld. It always does me good to see individual officers exhibit honor the Army itself has forfeited.
