Colonel Morris Davis, who resigned as chief prosecutor of the Guantánamo military commissions in October 2007 in protest at the use of evidence obtained through torture, the damage lives on. "Guantánamo is a stain on our reputation," he said. "The only way we can end that chapter is to close it."
The numbers, pulled together by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), speak for themselves. Of 779 detainees imprisoned at Guantánamo over the past decade, only six have been convicted. That's one less than the number of military prosecutors who resigned over the system's unfairness. Some 600 have been released, most under President Bush, raising the question of why they were there in the first place.
