Pressure is on from the Left. This COULD be the last straw for some of his devout supporters.

ACLU Ad: What Will it Be, Mr. President? | American Civil Liberties Union

I believe this ad will appear in the NYT - full page.

What to do, what to do?

If he holds a civilian trial, he makes the far left and the ACLU happy, while angering many Americans about the cost, location and of course, granting of certain rights to KSM.

If he changes course, the majority of Americans will agree, but the far left will be up in arms. He'll also be seen as a waffler.

My prediction: he goes for military tribunal, but throws blame on Bush/Republicans (tainted evidence, fear-mongering, whatever he thinks will stick). Oh, and will never admit that he was wrong.

No, it doesn't suck to be on the right side. the Republicans are saving America from the cowardly socialist leader you fools put in the WH.. Everything he tries fails. He is even incompetent at being a socialist crook... Adolph would be ashamed of his feeble attempt to destroy America..
Two and a half more years and he will be back in Chicago selling koolaide from a wooden cart...

They obviously can't come up with something better, so when all else fails, blame the obvious, but the obvious is their lame excuses, and just so damn funny. Blame is where it should be, on the person who Won squarely, but can't seem to get this job right!
