Hmmmmm......guess President Bush's plan to try the scum at Gitmo wasn't a bad idea after all eh? It's amazing what ONE Senatorial election can do....wait till the next one comes around and watch Obama's head explode:

The trial of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed won't be held in lower Manhattan and could take place in a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay, sources said last night.

Administration officials said that no final decision had been made but that officials of the Department of Justice and the White House were working feverishly to find a venue that would be less expensive and less of a security risk than New York City.

The back-to-the-future Gitmo option was reported yesterday by Fox News and was not disputed by White House officials.

Such a move would likely bring howls of protest from liberals already frustrated that President Obama has failed to meet his deadline for closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay.

It would also indicate that after years of attacking the Bush administration for its handling of the war on terror, Obama officials are embracing one of the most controversial aspects of it.

The administration is likely considering Gitmo because Congress is moving to cut off funding for holding the expensive trials in civilians courts.

Obama is developing quite a track record of making decisions that do not go into effect—

Such as fly to Copenhagen twice and nothing happens either time.

Or advocate govt takeover of healthcare and nothing happens.

Or saying KDM will be tried in NYC in civil court and now it looks like KDM will be tried offshore at a military tribunal.

People are not that dumb to ignore a guy who makes lousy decisions.

Dontcha know? This was Holder decision, and Holder's decision alone - just as the decision to ridicule White America mere hours after his AG appointment was also Holder's.

Has the ZERO-in-Chief not had a slam-dunk Dem majority, he'd have passed NO legislation at all.

His mojo is running on fumes.
