Thomas Hartmann, interfered in his planning of trials at the base by demanding that he drum up "sexy," high-profile cases "with blood on them" to attract public support for convictions. That charge led a military judge several weeks ago to exclude Hartmann from further involvement in a prominent case. Davis has also accused the Pentagon's second-ranking civilian of telling him to quickly charge "high value" prisoners - like Mohammed - "because there could be strategic value before...
