Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAR : Carrie Wolf (military lawyer)
Captain Carrie Wolf is a lawyer, and an officer in the United States Air Force. Wolf, Major Robert Preston, and Captain John Carr were among the military lawyers tasked to serve as prosecutors of the suspected terrorists imprisoned at the American prison at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay. Carr, Preston and Wolf all requested transfers to other assignments because they had concerns that the proceedings would be innately unjust.
On August 1, 2005, the Australian newspaper, The Age published an article based on the leaked memos from Preston and Carr. On August 3, 2005 The Age published another article that said Wolf had shared the concerns of the other two officers, and had also requested a transfer.
Brigadier General Thomas Hemingway, another military lawyer, who served as a legal advisor to the Office of Military Commissions, who tried to dismiss the memos as based on simple misunderstandings. There was an official investigation, following which the Chief Prosecutor to whom the memos were addressed, subsequently resigned from the military.
