It’s huge because it proves that Obama was lying through his teeth. Only the CIC could have given this kind of order. He can’t claim he voted ‘present’ for this one.

In another interview, Obama said he had not tried to tell Attorney General Eric Holder whether the case involving KSM and four other alleged 9/11 plotters should be heard in federal court or before a military tribunal. “I said to the attorney general, make a decision based on the law,” the president told CNN’s Ed Henry.

“We have set up now a military commission system that is greatly reformed and so we can try terrorists in the forum.

But I also have great confidence in our Article 3 courts, the courts that have tried hundreds of terrorist suspects who are imprisoned right now in the United States.”

Obama also suggested that critics of the decision are unwisely building the alleged Al Qaeda operatives into larger-than-life figures who require the U.S. to abandon its usual legal processes.

Decision is all Holders. LOL
