Bin Laden's driver wins another trial delay
By Carol Rosenberg | McClatchy Newspapers

A military commission judge Friday delayed the scheduled trial of Osama bin Laden's driver until after the U.S. Supreme Court has decided another key detainee case.

Navy Capt. Keith Allred said delaying the start of Salim Hamdan's trial until July 21 "avoids the potential embarrassment, waste of resources and prejudice to the accused that would" result were the Bush administration to lose the Supreme Court case.

1. "Another month wait" wont hurt
Says the asshat who isn't in prison. I wonder, when * goes to the Hague, will his driver be put in jail for six years also?

2. One reason (?) why no charges are filed against the criminals is to avoid pardon. Obama has stated
"nobody is above the law" With him in office they could be tried and prisoned for at least 8 years.

But, I REALLY hope the world at large seizes them, tries, and imprisons (hang? torture remember) them outside the US.

Let's face it, they cannot receive a fair trial in the US.
