It is not clear whether the Pentagon — which defends the commission system as fair — will allow Davis to testify. In December, two months after he resigned as the chief prosecutor for the Guantanamo war crimes tribunals, the Defense Department barred Davis from appearing before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee.
I’m sure defense attorneys will challenge such a block on Congressional grounds, and a trial is something different from a Congressional hearing.
That said, if the brass-hat wingnuts increasingly populating the higher eschalons of the What-a-gon try this, Davis could do something really dramatic, like resign his commission while tearing apart his uniform on the steps of the Pentagon.
