Isn't it amazing that after nearly 7 years...

they are putting someone on trial for 9/11?


Trial of 9/11 plotters faces hurdles

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Nearly 6 1/2 years after the Sept. 11 attacks, the U.S. is preparing to prosecute six of the men it says are responsible. But the trial and verdicts remain a long way off in the death penalty cases.

Given the slow pace of the military commissions at Guantanamo Bay, verdicts on charges announced at the Pentagon on Monday are unlikely before President Bush leaves office in January 2009. The trials themselves may not even be under way by then _ and the next president may be less keen on the military tribunal system.

Throwing the process into further doubt, the Supreme Court is expected to rule in a few months on whether Guantanamo detainees can challenge their confinement in civilian courts.
