Colonel James Pohl, one of the judges assigned to the military tribunals in Guantanamo, Cuba, has defied the executive order by President Obama to suspend his work pending review.
Well, today the order is coming down, and Colonel Pohl had better heed it.
If he wishes to remain a Colonel, that is. I rather imagine his next professional evaluation will be marked a bit lower than previous ones. You can't defy a President and get away with it.

Brush up on your UCMJ, sir. There are specific articles that define external interference with military investigations. This is a military law issue, not a chain of command issue. Something other than a Presidential order will probably be needed here. Checks and balances make this Country great.
