Why Hasn't KSM Been Tried Yet? (Hint: Obama)

Symbolism.

The Washington Times has a story today about the slow progress in the effort to try 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed in a military court. It seems that delays may continue for months or even years.

The cause of the latest delays? President Obama.

Buried DEEP within the story lies the truth about Obama's meddling:

Retired Brig. Gen. Thomas Hemingway, a former top legal adviser to the commission convening authority, said that while Mr. Holder was mulling the KSM case, President Obama changed the Manual for Military Commissions by executive order in 2010. The change requires that defendants facing capital charges in military tribunals have access to a “learned counsel” — a lawyer experienced in death penalty cases.

“Much of the time since April has been consumed by finding ‘learned counsel’ and going through the process to secure such counsel the requisite security clearance,” Gen. Hemingway said.

He can't hide behind Holder on this one because of the executive order. Hope! Change! Bowing to Islamism!
