A military prosecutor has resigned his position at Guantanamo Bay in protest of a decision to withhold evidence from an accused prisoner. Army Lt. Col. Darrel Vandeveld says his office failed to provide discovery to defense attorneys for an Afghan prisoner set to go on trial in December. Vandeveld wrote, “I am highly concerned, to the point that I believe I can no longer serve as a prosecutor at the Commissions, about the slipshod, uncertain ‘procedure’ for affording defense counsel discovery.”
