WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration on Friday signaled it intends to bring a second Guantanamo Bay detainee to the United States for trial in criminal court.

Federal prosecutors told a court Friday they no longer plan to hold Mohammed Jawad as a wartime prisoner.

Instead, they wrote in a court filing, they plan to begin a criminal investigation. That would most likely mean bringing him to criminal trial in the United States.

Even if that happens, Jawad is not likely to be transferred soon. For the time being, prosecutors say, he will remain at the Navy-run detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, while an "expedited" criminal investigation is conducted.

Pres_ _ent Obama's sole concerns: Please terrorists and defense lawyers.

In that light, this is a two-fer.

The Messiah’s lack of a Birth Certificate is dismissed for “lack of Standing”, but these towel-headed jihadists are lining the pockets of trial lawyers, who are being placated by the good ol’ US of A. Non-Citizens do NOT deserve the Protections of the U.S. Constitution, but their oil money can be siphoned by Trial Lawyers, so it’s okay with the Democrats.
