Guantánamo judge fired over Khadr case

The Pentagon has dismissed the Guantanamo Bay judge presiding over the case of Omar Khadr, raising questions about political interference and marking another setback in the beleaguered prosecution of the Toronto detainee.

U.S. Army Col. Peter Brownback, 60, a Vietnam veteran who once admitted he was under pressure from Washington concerning Khadr’s case, was relieved of his duties yesterday and replaced by another military judge.
