Obama Preserves Civilian Handling of Terror Cases
President Orders Waiver From Law Requiring Military Custody


Quote
      President Barack Obama issued an order Tuesday giving civilian investigators broad power to handle the cases of U.S. terrorism suspects despite a law passed late last year that favors military custody.

The decision is likely to raise hackles of lawmakers who included the provision in the National Defense Authorization Act, and it could provide an election-year issue for Republicans.
