Breaking: The Marine judge in Guantanamo's Hadi al Iraqi case has stepped down because he has been chosen for an FBI fellowship.
"Under the totality of the circumstances, the fact that the FBI will likely have a significant role in this case raises the prospect that an average citizen could, knowing all of the facts, reasonably question my impartiality…" the judge wrote in recusing himself.

In his ruling, Judge M.D. Zimmerman said that in an online form last month he ranked the FBI fellowship as his top preference for his next Marine job.
