In Retrospect; Torture, secret prisons might not have been such a great idea
Doubts surface if architects of Sept. 11 attacks will ever go to trial
By Greg Gordon, Marisa Taylor and Stephen Henderson / McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON – President Bush’s stunning transfer of 14 top terror suspects to Guantanamo Bay boosted hopes that, at last, the architects of the Sept. 11 attacks will be brought to justice.
But some legal experts questioned whether their trials will ever occur – and whether Bush’s maneuver is merely a power play to win congressional support for special military courts similar to those already struck down by the Supreme Court.

September 7th, 2006 at 11:26 amI wonder what strings are being pulled behind the scenes. I am sure Shakespeare couldn’t write a more lurid tale of deception and threats than what is going on behind closed doors in DC.

September 7th, 2006 at 12:05 pmPunchy sez:
It’s a little more complicated than that…from the Reuters article:
Chafee can’t vote for Bolton until he wins his primary, so the committee is obligingly holding off the vote until then.

Comment by Steven Young
So why was Bush in office for 9 months when it happened?
Fact Reagan and Bush sr. Helped to create, arm, and train Al qaeda to fight the Cold War [USSR in Afghanistan]
Fact. Fact Reagan and Bush Sr. and the British sent WMD to Saddam, they also gave him some nuclear technology. Fact.
Fact. the Able Danger knew of several of the Hijackers and ignored it, under Bush. Fact Bush was on vacation when he ignored the PDB about a pending attack.
September 7th, 2006 at 2:19 pmFact. There was a Airplane into Building exercise planned for 9/11
Fact Condi knew damn well about this exercise and still continues to mimic the 9/11 commission report as the failure of 9/11 being one of a “Lack iof Imagination” Fact they knew about this exercise and still ,STILL feigned ignorance of an Airplane into building. Fact.
