Gregory Zanetti is an officer in the United States Army.[1][2] Brigadier General Zanetti is currently the deputy commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo.[3] On August 13, 2008 Zanetti testified at a pre-trial hearing prior to Guantanamo captive Mohammed Jawad's Guantanamo military commission.[1][4] Carol Rosenberg, writing in the Miami Herald, quoted Zanetti characterizing Brigadier General Thomas W. Hartmann's approach to charging Guantanamo captives as:

"Spray and pray. Charge everybody. Let's go. Speed, speed, speed."

According to Rosenberg Zanetti described Hartmann's treatment of his subordinates as:[1]

"abusive, bullying and unprofessional . . . pretty much across the board."

Zanetti's Guantanamo hitch ended in January 2009.[5]
