From what I am hearing the consideration is over and that it is pretty much a foregone conclusion that KSM, along with all the other filth who had their hands in 9/11, will be handed over to the military for trial.

*crosses fingers* Hope this fuck is put up against a wall.

White House considers military trial for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed

Washington (CNN) -- White House advisers are considering recommending alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed be tried in a military court, not a civilian one in New York, a senior administration official confirmed Friday.

This would be an about face for the Obama administration which has consistently insisted trying Mohammed in civilian court would be a powerful symbol of U.S. rule of law.

In November 2009 Attorney General Eric Holder announced his intention to do just that. But a firestorm of criticism erupted from New York officials who did not want the trial held in Manhattan, and from Republican lawmakers who did not want a civilian trial.

If the president accepts this recommendation, his administration would be reversing itself on two fronts, the location of the trial and the type of trial.

"We are evaluating based on New York City logistical and security concerns on trial in federal courts," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday.

A senior administration official emphasized that no final recommendation has been given to the president, and therefore no decision regarding the 9/11 terror trial has been made. The official said the hope is a decision would be made before the president leaves for Indonesia on March 18.

IF so, where would they hold such? Ft. Dix, which is right across the river from NYC, ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, maybe the place where like they can control everythiing and maintain uber security, you know the place that was built for it....starts with a "G"?

and if he does change it, its another brilliant bit of governance and political expertise from the supposed smartest prez in history. ( oh and we'll see if Holder gets the tire tracks up and down his back).

But, but, but... Obama PROMISED!?!

Oh, yeah... right.

Never mind...

Kinda sucks that military trials might actually set the guy free. 2/3 convicted terrorists in military tribunals are walking the streets. As long as the guy meets his maker I don't give a fuck but I'd rather go with the tried tested and true civilian trial.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, it appears.
