Note to the regime: Americans won’t stand for the 9/11 trials to be held in civilian courts on US soil. Let go of this pipe-dream.
While the White House says new military trials will begin at Guantanamo Bay, three military lawyers who represent alleged 9/11 conspirators say they don’t think it will include their case. And documents obtained by Fox News suggest that the trial may be in a holding pattern as the Obama administration looks for a way to bring the accused terrorists into the civilian justice system.
When the Obama administration announced earlier this month that military tribunals would resume at Guantanamo, many assumed that the highest-profile defendants at the prison — the alleged 9/11 conspirators — would soon be headed for trial. The lawyers’ experience suggests otherwise.
