Third military commission prosecutor quits "rigged" Gitmo trials

In emails to their commanding officers, all three said they couldn't continue in a process they considered unjust.
Captain Wolf didn't return calls, but her departure and the reasons for it were confirmed by two sources linked to the office of military commissions, one opposed to the process, and one supporter.
The ABC has been able to speak to an Air Force judge advocate general, who was closely involved with the commissions for a year-and-a-half, including during the prosecutors' revolt.
The JAG declined to be identified or recorded, but he agrees with the Pentagon's assessment that there was a communication breakdown in the office.
