Meanwhile, the former chief military prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay has been fired from a congressional position over his recent criticism of the military commissions system. Retired Air Force Colonel Morris Davis was working as assistant director at the Congressional Research Service until his dismissal last week. Last month Davis published criticisms of the Obama administration plan to try some prisoners in federal courts while others before military panels. Davis has been a vocal critic of military commissions since resigning as Guantanamo’s top prosecutor in 2007.
