TW: Guantanamo just continues to fester while providing no evident value...
From WaPo:
"A military prosecutor involved in war crimes cases here has quit his position, citing ethical concerns about his office's failure to turn over exculpatory material to attorneys for an Afghan detainee scheduled to go to trial in December...Vandeveld's departure is the latest blow to the military trials process and a prosecutor's office that has been buffeted by resignations over issues of fairness. Other officials have alleged that the leadership of the military commissions is sacrificing principles of justice in a rush to secure convictions."
TW: While we thrash about in Afghanistan, the Republicans (as is to be expected at this point) will keep any NIE updates secret until at least a few days after the election...wagging the dog...
From ABC:
"US intelligence analysts are putting the final touches on a secret National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Afghanistan that reportedly describes the situation as "grim", but there are "no plans to declassify" any of it before the election, according to one US official familiar with the process...According to people who have been briefed, the NIE will paint a "grim" picture of the situation in Afghanistan"
