Yesterday, I mentioned how Bush was attempting to put political hacks in charge of the military’s legal corps, one would assume that they were doing this because they have so completely f$%#ed up real trials, so they wanted false ones.

Today, they have backed down. Reviews and promotions will be handled through the military chain of command, not through political hacks.

My guess is that a few dozen of the people involved with the Gitmo trials made it clear that they would resign their commissions if this went through.
