The Bush administration replaced a military judge who pressed military prosecutors to turn over evidence of abuse and coercion in a Guantanamo detainee's hearing. 

Three weeks after Col. Peter Brownback threatened to suspend the proceedings due to the failure of prosecutors to produce prison logs which contain statements regarding detainee Omar Khadr’s alleged abuse and coercion, the case was reassigned to another military judge.
