US Military Assigns Army colonel to judge trial of Khalid Sheik Mohammed
Hopefully Khalid will get his just due such as living with dogs and being all prisoners main butt holer.
Not all are happy about the appointment - namely the ACLU. They question the timing so close to Obama’s inaugural. Obama’s has promised to close Guantanamo and use criminal courts to try these bastages.
The US militaryhas assigned an Army colonel to take over the coming war crimes trial of alleged September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed, a sign that the Pentagon is plunging ahead with plans for military commissions of alleged 9/11 co-conspirators.[...]
The American Civil Liberties Union derided the timing of the assignment: a day after President-elect Barack Obama restated his vow to close Guantánamo prison camps in a post-election interview on CBS’ 60 Minutes.
ACLU executive director Anthony Romero called the timing “highly suspect and disturbing” and a bid “to sabotage President-elect Obama’s plans by ramming through these cases while the new administration is making plans to dismantle the military commission system”.
War court spokesman Joe DellaVedova said there was nothing sinister about the timing or the selection of Henley by Kohlmann to replace him.
Yes, lets ram the cases through before Obama screws it up.
