The Passing of a Great Defense Lawyer and Navy JAG Officer Raises Cancer Concerns at Guantanamo Bay

We are very sad to report that a great military defense lawyer, Navy JAG officer, and man - Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler - has passed away much too early, and his unfortunate passing has raised concerns about a possible association between Guantanamo Bay Cuba (GITMO) and cancer.  A Miami Herald article on this appears here:

Here also is another article regarding this concern:

Rest in peace Lt. Cmdr. Kuebler; thank you for your service.
