Article text moved here
Acting as a Military Workgroup editor, I have moved all text here until notability is determined, which certainly is not established by a one-sentence introduction saying the judge is notable. The notable event described is the case of Associated Press v.

- After there was no update since October 2008, I obtained basic biographical information and put it into the main article. Some text below was moved back, with deletion of observations about "noteworthy" or "notable" without any explanation. Why were Worldcom and Imhoff notable, as opposed to any other cases in a lengthy career?
- While I moved back the basic Guantanamo information, I did not move back multiple consecutive citations, from news reports, about it. This is an article about a judge and judicial proceedings, not the Defense Department actions. Further, it should be entirely possible to locate and cite both the AP complaint and the judge's decision as primary documents. If there is significant analytical comment — which does not include the personal opinions of otherwise non-notable activists — that can and should be included. Howard C.
