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

yeah, the “decision” for Holder (AND for Gates) is open so long as they agree with what they KNOW the Obamanation wants on the matter.....

oh, yes, really freely deciding executives with no “command influence” .... and if anyone in the world doubts that Holder and Gates both know exactly what Obambi thinks should happen, I have a really nice expanse of swampland, er, “wetlands” to sell......
