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.

First is that President Obama is a truly stupid man.
Second is that he is a far left ideologue.
And third and the worst is that he is both.
Was that at Gitmo? That was my question.
Dr. Charles Krauthamer suggested in his remarks after the SOU that Obozo is in clinical denial:
"denial /de·ni·al/ (dĭ-ni´il) in psychiatry, a defense mechanism in which the existence of unpleasant internal or external realities is kept out of conscious awareness."
So, we have a stupid ideologue President who is in clinical denial.
"We are," paraphrasing the good ol' boy Sheriff to his latest victim: "in a heap of trouble."
