Judge orders release of Guantanamo detainee - Security- msnbc.com

more fallout form the torture policy?

Lt. Col. Stuart Couch, a former military prosecutor who prosecuted terrorism planners and financiers for the Marine Corps for three years, has said Salahi was one of the men he was assigned to prosecute.


Couch told a University of Georgia audience last year that he discovered interrogators had obtained much of the evidence against Salahi through torture and refused to press charges.

Couch said he tried to resign, but was told he would be demoted to captain and sent into combat in Iraq if he quit. He dropped the Salahi case and stayed on as a prosecutor until his assignment ended, when he was named an appellate judge.

Lt. Col. Crouch is a hero.

This case could perhaps have proceeded to trial and resulted in a conviction IF the U.S. interrogators had followed the law. This is what happens when investigators consider themselves above/outside the law.
