Getting Real About Military Tribunals

Just a passing note, since it's one of those rushed mornings, but this post by digby drives the point home again: the military commissions trying the Guantanamo detainees are a travesty:

It isn't just the ACLU or liberal hippie bloggers who see this as a travesty. Four prosecutors have resigned in protest. They are military professionals, the most rigid group of people on the planet, trained to take orders and do as they're told. And yet they cannot live with what they see.

This is the fourth prosecutor to resign. The fourth.
