Valin Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 LA Times:David G. Savage and Richard A. Serrano10/7/10Washington…The Obama administration's prosecution of major foreign terror suspects in U.S. civilian courts has hit another roadblock, after a judge in New York blocked testimony this week from the government's key witness against a prisoner about to stand trial in connection with the U.S. embassy bombings in Africa in 1998.The trial of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani is being closely watched as a test case for the legal system over whether a "high value" detainee held in a secret CIA location and later at the U.S. Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison can be tried and convicted under the rules of American criminal law.The dispute sits at the heart of this still unresolved debate over whether terrorism suspects should be held as military prisoners or tried as criminals. And the judge's ruling in New York deals another political blow to the Obama administration, which has said Guantanamo Bay should be closed and the terror defendants tried in this country.(Snip)____________________________________________________________________________ More Here....Embassy-Bombing Trial in JeopardyAndrew C.
