Obama Administration Must Stay The Course And Hold Trials In Federal Court, Says ACLU

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)– According to a report in the Washington Post today, President Obama will be playing a larger role in determining where and how to proceed with the prosecutions of the accused 9/11 plotters. In November, Attorney General Eric Holder made the correct decision when he announced that the trials would be held in federal court. He stated that they would occur in the Southern District of New York. But reports indicate that in response to pressure from Congress and local New York officials, the administration might consider transferring the cases to another federal court or even into the discredited military commission system.
