Obama may revive Bush-era trials for Gitmo detainees
The Obama administration may revamp and restart the Bush-era military trial system for suspected terrorists as it struggles to determine the fate of detainees held at Guantanamo Bay and fulfil a pledge to close the prison by January.
The move would further delay terrorism trials and, coupled with recent comments by US military and legal officials, amounts to a public admission by President Barack Obama’s team that delivering on that promise is easier said than done.
