A retired Navy judge has been named to oversee the military tribunals at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, filling a job that has lacked a permanent occupant since his predecessor was dismissed last year after discussing plea deals with defense lawyers in the Sept. 11 and the destroyer Cole cases.
The acting secretary of defense, Patrick Shanahan, appointed the retired judge, Christian L. Reismeier, to the civilian job — officially known as the convening authority for military commissions — last week and the Pentagon announced the decision on Tuesday. Mr. Reismeier, who retired as a one-star admiral in 2015, was spotted last week at Military Commissions headquarters in Alexandria, Va.

Fantasy: That the pre-trial nonsense ends, swiftly, and that justice is served, whether that be exoneration (unlikely), execution (unlikely) or life in prison (more likely).
Reality: Pre-trial nonsense continues, judge resigns out of frustration, and it takes ten more years before the trial begins.
PS - Thanks for asking!

MAJ Montgomery Granger You called about the way I see it. More likely to see these animals die of old age than our seeing justice for those harmed.
