The Globe and Mail reports Khadr lawyers allege Cheney linked to video release.
"Omar Khadr's defense lawyers will try to find out whether U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney's office secretly leaked a video of the detained Canadian to an American media outlet – an allegation that, if proven, would be a clear violation of court orders and further proof that the process by which Mr. Khadr is being tried is a political, not legal one, his military lawyer says.
In an interview with The Globe and Mail Monday night, Lieutenant Commander Bill Kuebler said he is trying to find out how a highly secret video showing Mr. Khadr in Afghanistan was leaked to the U.S. news program 60 Minutes. The video appears to show Mr. Khadr building a bomb."
Such video sounds relevant but a military judge deemed it not admissible. If Cheney's office was involved in leaking it, or whoever was, still did a bad thing. I've written about Colonel Morris Davis before. Davis was the top prosecutor and I think would have prosecuted Khadr if he hadn't resigned in October.
