Interview with Darrel Vandeveld
The Moderate Voice —
... from the perspective of having been called upon to prosecute alleged (and this is they key word missed by so many closed-minded people, unlike today’s subject) acts of terror and/or war crimes that may (again, a critical qualifier) have been committed by men now being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Darrel Vandeveld.

The Talking Dog Is there any doubt in your mind that the most notorious abuses, whether at GTMO or later Abu Ghraib, were the deliberate result of the deliberate Pentagon decision to split up lines of command between military jailers and (higher ranking!) military intelligence? Your book portrays Maj. Gen. Dunlavey in a somewhat less favorable light, then, say, Dunlavey's fellow Erie, PA resident Lt. Col. Darrel Vandeveld did in my interview with him; Lt. Col. Vandeveld noted that whatever else one might say about Dunlavey, he had a unique background in military ...
