justice. >> reporter: that led vandeveld to make the most agonizing decision of his life. in september of 2008, he resigned from the military commission. your conscience is clear? >> my conscience is not clear. i prosecuted mohammed jawad for too long. i participated in the commissions for too long. >> reporter: the pentagon in a statement to cbs news said "vandeveld's statements are proven to be unsubstantiated." >> the pentagon propaganda machine is hard at work to try to discredit darrell vandeveld. >> reporter: he received a poor evaluation report, which essentially ends his military career. >> you do the right thing, you will be forever grateful you did it no matter what happens to you. >> reporter: darrell's biggest regret, mohammed jawad is still behind bars, awaiting trial in guantanamo. lara logan, cbs news, williamsburg, virginia. coming up this morning on "the early show," the latest on hurricane bill. we'll speak with the coast guard members who took part in that
