This morning Amy Goodman interviewed a reservist Lt Col from North Carolina - a lawyer, who had served as a prosecutor at Guantanamo post-911. He had refused to prosecute a detainee who he felt had been tortured/coerced, and he said that his conviction to refuse the job was firmed up while attending a baptismal ceremony in his evangelical church.
