“The Pentagon official overseeing the planned military trials of Canadian Omar Khadr and other terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba resigned Monday - just days after a published report alleged he’d insisted there be no acquittals.”
William J. Haynes II
Haynes’ alleged comments appeared in an interview Nation magazine conducted with Col. Morris Davis, who resigned last October as the commission’s chief prosecutor, citing political interference.
“I said to (Haynes) that if we come up short and there are some acquittals in our cases, it will at least validate the process,” Davis was quoted as saying about an August 2005 meeting the two men had.
“At which point, his eyes got wide and he said, ‘Wait a minute, we can’t have acquittals. If we’ve been holding these guys for so long, how can we explain letting them get off? . . . We’ve got to have convictions.”
