The senior military judge overseeing terror trials at Guantanamo Bay has dropped charges against a suspect in the 2000 USS Cole bombing.
The legal move by the Hon. Susan J. Crawford upholds President Obama's Guantanamo order to halt court proceedings at the Navy detention center in Cuba.
The military charges against suspected Al Qaeda bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri marked the last active war crimes case at Guantanamo Bay.
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Crawford dismissed the charges against al-Nashiri without prejudice. That means new charges can be brought again later. He will remain in prison for the time being.
"It was her decision, but it reflects the fact that the president has issued an executive order which mandates that the military commissions be halted, pending the outcome of several reviews of our operations down at Guantanamo," Morrell said Thursday night.
The ruling also gives the White House time to review the legal cases of all 245 terror suspects held there and decide whether they should be prosecuted in the U.S. or released to other nations.
Retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. Kirk Lippold, who was commander of the USS Cole when it was attacked in Yemeni waters in 2000, told FOX News that he was invited to the White House on Friday for a special meeting with Obama.
Lippold decried Obama's request to delay all pending trials at Guantanamo. But he told FOX News he "will go with an open mind and wait to see and hear what President Obama has to offer."
Wow, guess I'd better double lock my doors tonight.
Don't mind the fact that guantánamo bay was creating terrorist by proxy. Oh, and the fighting, death, raids, burning of homes, chaos, ETC in Iraq over the last six years did NOTHING to create more terrorists and bolster resentment towards the US
I did not vote for Obama.

Someone find out what the drilling platform is that is less than a mile from the highway on Island in the Sky. Pretty sure it was still there last summer and it's probably been there at least 10 years now....
I know it's been there for more than 6 months......

That would make no sense... unless they're trying to reach the other side of the planet.
BTW... last summer to now is 6-7 months.

That is not a drilling platform, that is an actual active oil well with storage tanks on site. We have oil exploration and mining to thank for 90% of the trails in the greater Moab area.

Utah, in particular, has mining and oil exploration to thank for an awful lot of it's cities, come to think of it.
