Obama to meet with families of
9/11, USS Cole victims after
Guantanamo fudge drops charges
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama was spend-
ing time with families 0(9/11 victims and the 17 sailors killed in
the bombing of the USS Cole after a senior Pentagon judge
dropped charges against an al-Qaida suspect in the Cole attack
being held at Guantanamo Bay.
The legal move Thursday by Susan J. Crawford, the top legal
authority for military trials at Guantanamo, upholds Obama's
Jan. 22 executive order to halt terrorist court proceedings at
the U.S. Navy base in Cuba. The charges against suspected al-
Qaida bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri marked the last active
Guantanamo war crimes case.
Groups representing victims' families were angered by
Obama's order, charging they had waited too long already to
see the alleged attackers brought to court.
Retired Navy Cmdr. Kirk S. Lippold, the commanding officer
of the Cole when it was bombed in Yemen in 2000, said he
would be among family members of Cole and 9/11 victims who
are meeting with Obama at the White House on Friday after-
noon.
"1 was certainly disappointed with the decision to delay the
military commissions process," Lippold, now a defense adviser
to Military Families United, said in an interview. "We have
already w aited eight years. Justice delayed is justice denied. We
must allow the military commission process to go forward."
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Crawford withdrew
the charges against al-Nashiri. However, new charges could be
brought again later, and al-Nashiri will remain in prison for the
time being.
Crawford’s 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.
