Charges Withdrawn in Military Commissions for Sept. 11 Suspects

[TheSarge]

All charges have been withdrawn in the military commissions against the five suspects in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks being held at Guantanamo Bay.

The charges were dropped "without prejudice," according to the Defense Department -- a procedural move that allows federal officials to transfer the men to trial in a civilian court and also leaves the door open, if necessary, to bring charges again in military commissions.

"This action comes in light of the announcement by the attorney general of the United States that the Department of Justice intends to pursue a prosecution ... in federal court in the Southern District of New York," says a release from the Defense Department.

Currently no suspects stand charged in the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11. U.S. officials sent notification to Congress and families of 9/11 victims Friday afternoon. The order dropping charges was made Thursday.

"This action is a procedural step, which is part of a normal process, when an alternative forum is chosen," according to the Defense Department.

Someone needs to get ali baba a bottle of just for men, beard & mustache.  I'll bet he has a hell of a time with tangled hair and split ends.

Oh that's just the love-stare he gives to his one true saviour, Obama

If Obama screws this up, the Tea Parties will be the least of his concerns. He has NO idea....

[Mr Mannn]

That said this guy needs a forced shave and an orange prison jumper. To the trial he may be allowed a business suit and tie.

Hi,

This is really what could cause his undoing.  There are many who suspect that he is true to his quote about siding with the muslims.  The democrats are turning on him and this really does border on treason.  The sooner this hits the fan the better because it will be impossible for even the New York Times to defend the clown.

Don't forget that there is a movement in congress not to fund security for the trials in NYC.

Talk about al-Qeada recruting tools! What could be more of one that the USA letting these mass murderers off? Murder thousands, live better than you ever have in your life, and eventually walk away to, possibly a Carib. Island to establish a landscaping business or become a domestic services contractor.......they'll be lining up for MILES.

I'm still waiting for the brilliant "masters of the universe" that Obama  and crew were supposed to be to show me something "smart" , anything, anything at all?

The military withdrawing these charges is a formality to allow the circus trials to be held in New York.  I expect that after a couple of years in NYC Federal court followed by a hung jury or dismissal of charges that the military will reinstate charges.  They can still do that.

and this is not a travesty and recruting too for "al-Queada" because......?
