President Obama Likely to Order Military Commission Charges Dropped Against Terrorist Suspect Al-Nashiri Friday
ABC NewsABC News has learned that on Friday, President Obama will likely order the Department of Defense's Military Commission to withdraw charges against terrorist suspect Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. The charges may later be reinstated in a military commission or pursued in a civilian court. Al-Nashiri will remain in custody.
The announcement will not be made until after President Obama meets with the families of victims of terrorist attacks on 9/11 and on the U.S.S. Cole, where he will assure them that this step is not being done to be lenient towards al-Nashiri. The move is being done to stop the continued prosecution of al-Nashiri in a court system that his administration may ultimately find illegitimate, not for any other reason, sources told ABC News.
President Obama has expressed concern about whether the military commissions set up by the Bush administration are the proper way to go forward in pursuing charges against the U.S. detainees, and on January 22 he asked all the judges supervising the trials of detainees for a continuance of 120 days, so a team of administration officials could review the best way forward.
In almost the cases, that continuance request was granted. But last week the judge supervising the al-Nashiri trial -- Army Col. James L. Pohl, the chief judge at the Guantanamo Bay war crimes court -- said he would not heed President Obama's request for a 120-day continuance, or delay, in prosecutions of terrorism suspects. Pohl called the president's request "not reasonable" and not "in the interests of justice."
That's the stupidity of all this. Yemen already convicted Nashiri of bombing the Cole and sentenced him to death. Yemen turned him over to us for trial because Bush wanted to make it look like the U.S. was being tough on him too. The Feds wanted to execute him for his role in the bombing.
So I guess they were just going to kill him twice.
If the charges against Nashiri are dropped, we'll just return him to Yemen...where he will be killed for the conviction that has already occurred.
I'm more scareder now.
there closeing guantanamo so he will only be there at most a year.

Maybe. The charges can be refiled.
Looks like the government no longer wants to go to trial. The continuance failed. The judge was ready to go.
The ball has been punted to Obama.
More time to get the case right. Charges will be refiled against this guy.
Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri looks like a bad mofo.

...year
sorry fixed that last post i am tired and stuck at work for a little bit longer
Are you still laughing out loud?
you too huh?
Or, as Nbadan pointed out, no further charges are really necessary on top of his Yemen death sentence for the USS Cole bombing.
Dropping the charges is a death sentence. Any complaints?
Abd al-Rahim al-Nashhiri.
I didn't do it.

Oh yeah...I assumed that's where you go it, but it's always awesome when someone pulls something from that classic thread!
just give him to Yemen
-Mars
he's still there.
the military commission is all bollixed up: https://www.justsecurity.org/56151/h...antanamo-mess/
If memory serves even Bush thinks that Gitmo was harmful to US interests.
I am still amazed that people still think indefinite military detention is the best way to defend "freedom". smh
it's a terrorist recruiting project, the MIC needs to keep the GWOT alive and paying.
