Retired Major General John D. Altenburg Jr., the Omar Bradley chair of strategic leadership at Penn State Law and former Guantanamo Bay commissioner, shares his view on military trials for detainees at Guantanamo Bay and related issues. In 2004, Altenburg was recalled from retirement to serve as Appointing Authority for the Military Commissions responsible for full and fair trials for some of the detainees held at Guantanamo Bay. His responsibilities included resolving administrative and legal questions posed by the prosecution, defense and commission members.
The Omar Bradley chair is a joint initiative of the United States Army War College, Dickinson College, and Penn State Law to advance the study of strategic leadership and enhance civilian-military dialogue by offering distinguished individuals the opportunity to contribute to the educational and research activities of the three institutions.
