Just received a "Breaking News" email alert from washingtonpost.com about ten minutes ago... I'm sure this will receive a mixed reaction.
An administration official said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court. Mohammed and four alleged co-conspirators in the 9/11 plot had been facing capital charges in a military commission at Guantanamo Bay. The closely-held decision has been the subject of intense speculation, and represents a milestone moment in the Obama administration's quest to close the military detention center on the southeastern tip of Cuba.
