Military Injustice

Both the Washington Post and the New York Times have some sharp criticism for the Government's treatment of Guantanamo military chaplain Captain James Yee. From the Times' editorial, Military Injustice:

The damage this case did to Captain Yee is incalculable, but the military has also hurt itself. It has cast further doubt on its detention policies in Guantánamo. It has diminished public confidence in military justice. And it has weakened its own credibility for future cases when it tries to invoke national security. For Captain Yee's sake and its own, the military should apologize for its misguided prosecution and put in place procedures to prevent a case like this from happening again.
