prosecution had finally broken its silence, Davis said: On February 28, 2006, Davis spoke out again regarding the commissions, saying: Guantanamo defense attorney H. Candace Gorman countered in a Huffington Post op-ed that this was an odd statement from Davis since it was the military's fault that so few cases had come to trial before the military commissions. By early 2007, only David Hicks, an Australian citizen, was being tried, and all but one of the charges against him had been dropped before trial for lack of evidence. In March 2007, Davis threatened Major Michael Mori, the military defense counsel assigned to Hicks' case with prosecution under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, claiming that Mori had acted improperly in criticizing the military commissions while in Australia gathering evidence for the defense.

He said that, "a military defense lawyer is supposed to provide the same level of representation as a civilian lawyer." He said that in pressing Mr. Hicks's case in Australia, "Major Mori is fulfilling his duty as an officer and as an attorney." Davis, similar to his father, is in the highest disability rating at 60 percent.

In it, Davis argued that the Guantánamo Bay detention center is humane, professional, and operating in compliance with international law.

The government stayed pending writs of habeas corpus. On June 29, 2007, the Supreme Court agreed to hear some outstanding claims of habeas corpus, opening up the possibility that they might overturn some or all of the Military Commissions Act. Davis called the Supreme Court's intention to review the MCA "meddling": Resignation as Chief Prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay In October 2007, Colonel Davis resigned from his position as Chief Prosecutor.
