V. Stuart Couch | The Conscience of the Colonel

Raised in Asheboro, NC and a graduate of Duke, Couch was a military prosecutor who refused to bring charges against Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Guantanamo Bay prisoner linked to 9/11, because he thought the evidence was tainted by torture. For Lt. Col. Couch, the Slahi case represented a wrenching personal challenge: a collision between the government's objectives and his moral compass. Couch will be speaking about his personal experiences and the reason behind his courageous decision. Sponsored by International Human Rights Law Society, Career Services, and DBA.
Recorded on October 23, 2007.
Lecture titled: The Conscience of the Colonel: A Military Prosecutor's Refusal to Prosecute on Evidence Tainted by Torture.
Appearing: V. Stuart Couch (Lieutenant Colonel), speaker.

The Mauritania movie brought me here. I salute Col. Stuart Couch with respect and admiration. He took the right stand on Mr. Slahi’s case. People like him that keeps the hope in humanity. Bravo sir

Col. Stuart Couch should've said allegedly Mohamadou had a connection to Ahmed Russam because Mohammad in his interview said that he NEVER met or known that man. Great respect to Col. Couch for doing his absolute to be unbiased when looking into Mr. Slahi's case. America needs more men like Col. Couch and Dan J. Jones.

"Thank god I'm an American because we don't do this..." It must have been devastating for him to witness that, yeah, sometimes actually we do..
