Moving the trial of suspected September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed out of criminal court and into a military tribunal could finally enable President Obama to close the terrorist detainee center at Guantanamo Bay.
The president has already disappointed his supporters by maintaining military tribunals after temporarily suspending them, by continuing the option of indefinite detention and by faltering in his vow to close Guantanamo Bay one year after his inauguration.
"If this stunning reversal comes to pass, President Obama will deal a death blow to his own Justice Department, not to mention American values," American Civil Liberties Union Director Anthony Romero said in a written statement.
