[Grovenet] Capital punishment? I don't need no stinkin' capital punishment . . . .

GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba, April 28 (Reuters) - The former  
chief prosecutor for the Guantanamo war crimes tribunals was expected  
to appear as a defense witness on Monday, called in to testify that  
the tribunal process was too tainted to provide a fair trial for  
Osama bin Laden's driver.

Air Force Col. Moe Davis quit the war court last year, complaining  
that political appointees and higher-ranking military officers were  
illegally influencing what was supposed to be an independent  
prosecution of suspected terrorists.
