The Defense Department issued a statement Thursday saying the case is not stalled. "Prosecutors in the Office of Military Commissions are actively investigating the case against Mr. al-Nashiri and are developing charges against him," the statement said.

"It's politics at this point," said one military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss policy. He said he thinks the administration does not want to proceed against a high-value detainee without some prospect of civilian trials for other major figures at Guantanamo Bay.

And they wonder why people think he's a muslim. He wanted to meet with the families after the decision but I think they refused. And the poor little bomber was tortured! Oh the shame. They should've cut his nuts off with a spork.

The guy subbin' for Rush wants to ask Zero a question: "When you converse with the king of Saudi Arabia, which language do you use, English, or Arabic?"

Seems like a legitimate question to me. Just who are you representin' there Zero?

This quote from the article....

Such indirect testimony could be critical to a conviction because any incriminating statements Nashiri might have made are probably inadmissible under the 2009 Military Commissions Act, which bars the use of evidence obtained through torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.

So this is for naught?  WTF?

To add to my earlier, I suggest we drop them off from 30K feet, but give them a parachute at least.

So what if it's a bacon parachute?
