It&#8217;s not a done deal, but it sure looks like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is going back to a trial before a U.S. military commission, the <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2010\/03\/04\/AR2010030405209.html?hpid=topnews\">Washington Post reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.whorunsgov.com\/Profiles\/Barack_Obama\">President Obama<\/a>&#8217;s advisers are nearing a recommendation that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, be prosecuted in a military tribunal, administration officials said, a step that would reverse Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.&#8217;s plan to try him in civilian court in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>The president&#8217;s advisers feel increasingly hemmed in by\u00a0<a  href=\"http:\/\/projects.washingtonpost.com\/politicsglossary\/legislative\/bipartisanship\/\">bipartisan<\/a> opposition to a federal trial in New York and demands, mainly from Republicans, that Mohammed and his accused co-conspirators remain under military jurisdiction, officials said. While Obama has favored trying some alleged terrorists in civilian courts as a symbol of U.S. commitment to the rule of law, critics have said military tribunals are the appropriate venue for those accused of attacking the United States.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I get the New York City thing, but I am not quite sure that other parts of New York wouldn&#8217;t have welcomed the trial. Sure, there are logistical problems, but I wonder if there isn&#8217;t also a reversal of principle here. Obama and Holder are going to have to swallow a lot of high-falutin language about the supposed irresponsibility of the Bush Administration on this stuff, if they do reverse themselves here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/opiniojurisfeed\/~4\/Z2EYn-Owrm0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Julian Ku Wow!
