Surprise! Obama may revive Military Tribunals at Gitmo

"To highlight the cynicism employed by the Administration, we have this quote from an unamed "official:"

"The more they look at it," said one official, "the more commissions don't look as bad as they did on Jan. 20."

Nor do most other Bush era programs to fight terror and protect the homeland. The president doesn't want a terrorist attack to occur on American soil anymore than Bush did nor does he want the terrorists in American courts where their lawyers will tie up the legal system with one gambit after another. There is also the fact that most of the testimony against the terrorists was given in top secret interrogations and the problem of revealing those sources in an American court means the tipsters would be left helpless against the terrorists."
