In each case, my decision as to whether to proceed in federal courts or military commissions was based on a protocol that the Departments of Justice and Defense developed and that was announced in July.

But that is not what the Military Commissions Act says. It allows for military tribunal ONLY, and these defendants have been charged under that that Act. Holder's actions are unconstitutional. Congress and Congress alone can set jurisdiction for these crimes (Article III, Section 2). And Congress has not authorized jurisdiction in US civilian court for this.

This case will be tossed, and Holder knows it.

...and all our intelligence exposed OR our intelligence won’t be exposed and the case(s) will be tossed.

This is a very sad day in history.

That is shocking. Seems like you’ve read the act and know the details.

Anyway, too bad Bush didn’t resolve this before he left office.
