Obstruction of justice at Gitmo

What else could you call an order to interrogators there to destroy handwritten notes, specifically because of worries they might be called on to testify?
The lawyer for Toronto-born Omar Khadr, Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler, said the instructions were included in an operations manual shown to him by prosecutors and suggest the U.S. deliberately thwarted evidence that could help terror suspects defend themselves at trial.

Kuebler said he’s going to see dismissal of charges. If this were a civilian court, he’d have a great shot, I think. Don’t know about a military court, especially with all the politics overhanging this.

So now I say, yes, let’s have these show trials before November. And tie McCain/McSame to obstruction of justice in the name of torture.
