Reporting from Washington — The Obama administration remains committed to trying more terrorism suspects in civilian court even though a federal jury acquitted a Tanzanian of all but one charge in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings, senior Justice Department officials said Thursday.
Alleged Al Qaeda accomplice Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, the first Guantanamo Bay prisoner to be tried in civilian court, was convicted Wednesday of one count of conspiracy to damage or destroy U.S. property but cleared of 284 counts of murder and attempted murder.
As Republican lawmakers used the New York verdict to attack the concept of civilian trials, Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller said, "We're going to continue to review the cases on their merits and decide which forum is the most appropriate." Justice and Defense department officials use a detailed protocol to determine who will be tried and where, he added.
Miller said announcements are pending on where to try nearly four dozen other terrorism suspects — in U.S. courts or before military commissions at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He declined to say who might be tried next in civilian court. "Every day we're continuing to work on it," he said.
Under the protocol, upcoming cases are studied by Justice and Defense department attorneys. Defendants will be ordered to stand trial in civilian courts or military commissions based on several factors, including where the alleged crimes occurred, where the suspect was captured and how the "case was investigated and evidence gathered," he said.

If you're to DUmb to throw the cakes in urinals, Obama has a position for you.
If you're flexible, Bonnie Fwank might have a position for you.

It would be the only lemonade stand that uses thugs to beat up people who don't want to buy any lemonade.
