Judge rejects Obama delay request
Source: BBC
A military judge at the Guanatanamo Bay detention facility has rejected a request by US President Barack Obama to suspend the trial of a detainee.
Correspondents say this could be a setback to Mr Obama's plans to close the facility.
Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi citizen, is accused of planning the USS Cole attack of October 2000.
Judge James Pohl said the request to halt the trial to allow a review by the new administration was "unpersuasive".
Judge Pohl said that the trial of Mr Nashiri would go ahead.

During the Bush years, any military personnel who disagreed with the President would have been cheered. Certainly that hasn't changed at the DUmp, has it?

1. We really have some entrenched judges ..
Sinistrous
3. Isn't that insubordination?
He is in the military and President Obama is the Commander in Chief.
Barack_America
6. Personally appointed to Gitmo by Bush.
In the waning days of his administration, no less.
No political motivation at all, I'm sure.

Seems that he's done some good stuff, and some bad, but that most of all, he wants to be "top dog".
Still Sensible
8. Since This is a "Military" Judge, I would presume
probably a colonel, I suggest the Pentagon find a new posting... Iraq or Afghanistan perhaps.
Whoever James Pohl is, he appears to me to be one of those 'activist' judges we keep hearing about. The delay request in no way effects the outcome of any future proceeding if the decision is made to go ahead with prosocuting this individual at a later date.
I suggest another approach would be to have the justice department or the military prosocuter assigned to the case, simply stand down.
No Elephants
20. What? A military judge rejects the request of the CIC? Obama needs to do something to show who is in charge. If this were an Article III court, it would be a co-equal branch, but it isn't an Article III court. The judge is insubordinate.
Hugabear
23. Who in the **** does this judge think he is, telling his Commander-in-Chief no?
This military judge should not only be removed from this case, but he should be court-martialed for insubordination and refusal to follow a direct order.
Obama is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF. These military pukes need to start learning who's the boss now.
Piewhacket
24. Son of a B! I just found out more... this judge is WHACK!
according to this article
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/01/29/cole.charges /
the Judge is WHACK! and should be removed from the case
and retired.
ONE: This (death penalty) case isn't in the middle of trial!
The defendant hasn't even been arraigned! SOB! There is no
serious prejudice to the defendant, who hasn't even objected!
TWO: The pentagon spokeman (Morrell) has said the prosecution will
NOT be going forward and that: "The bottom line is, we all work for the
president of the United States in this chain of command," Morrell said.
"And he has signed an executive order that has made it abundantly clear
that until these reviews are done, all of this is on hiatus."
THREE:al-Nashiri has said he was tortured into confessing involvement
in the Cole bombing. The CIA has admitted "waterboarding" him
at a secret location in 2002, and tapes of the interrogation were
destroyed in 2005 .
The case should be stopped.
BTW: Lets not forget to add aiding and abetting (destruction of
evidence and obstruction) to the list of bush crimes. Just because
the list is long is no excuse to forget anything.

If it was an imperial command why doesn't the Big L'oef just judge the cases?
-
I wish we could say that we did not see this coming....but we all saw this coming.
They are nothing...well they are really nothing... but if not predictable.
-
If it was an imperial command why doesn't the Big L'oef just judge the cases?
why bother with trials at all?
if its the state vs whatever then the state automatically wins
thats nice thinking huh?
-
lolo. Now they want military judges who always support the President????

Well, yeah, except for the last President. Then they wanted the troops to object based on "moral" grounds. DU is nothing more than a big whopping piece of hypocritical shit delivered in 1's and 0's.
-
Maybe the reason the judge rejected it is because congress has TWICE confirmed the legality of the tribunals by making them law.
-
They seem to think that a military judge is bound by the same rules as a civilian judge...
-
Right, Bunny. Never mind any legal basis for an opinion/comment. They just knee jerk whine, "Our messiah king isn't getting his WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!" I'm not sure they even understand where Obama's head is on this matter. Sheep, plain and simple.

"But But But Obama WON! How can He be opposed?"
