BS: More shenanigans in Khadr case.

The judge has been replaced, apparently because he has not been playing ball with the powers-that-be.

'"While this decision is not surprising, it once again demonstrates the inherent flaws in a system that lacks impartiality and is subject to political influence," wrote Jamil Dakwar, Director of the ACLU's Human Rights Program. "The message of the Pentagon's decision seems to be that it is unwilling to let judges exercise independence if it means a ruling against the government."'

Story here.

'The Star filed a motion to intervene in that case today, arguing that the public should have access to the information since the treatment of a Canadian detainee in Guantanamo and the participation of Canadian officials in that process "raises matters of great public interest." '

The Star has more balls than the Canadian government by the looks of the article. Thanks for posting this, meself.

No wonder he was replaced!

"On Friday, Col. Peter Brownback, the military judge presiding over a hearing in Guantanamo Bay, gave Khadr's lawyers a lot of the ammunition they need to defend him in an upcoming trial.

Brownback gave them permission to interview a military commander who allegedly altered a report to blame Khadr for Speer's death. The judge also granted Kuebler's request for the names of all of Khadr's interrogators and the notes of their sessions."

Canada must step in to stop this mockery of justice.

True, Dianavan. BUT, a politely-worded e-mail I sent to this damned government has yet to be answered. I sent it over two months ago.
