Obama is seriously considering overruling the attorney general and ordering military tribunal trials for the al Qaeda suspects accused of participating in the 9/11 attacks, according to Robert Gibbs, White House spokesman.
This is a predictable outcome. The organs of propaganda have been promoting this idea relentlessly, and various ruthless politicians have made an issue of the "danger" of permitting suspects to have regular trials.
It's quite interesting that when the Pentagon-intelligence system wants or doesn't want something, the White House nearly always caves in. What that clique doesn't want is to permit defense lawyers to tear the government's conspiracy theories to shreds in open court. They want a slam dunk show trial, with all the show on the government's side.
Again, we need to begin to try to persuade people to bypass the organs of propaganda, or to at least learn to take their messages with quite a few grains of salt.
News flashes to cell phones might be arranged that aren't too pricey. That is, we need alternative media to find ways to exploit the new technologies and bypass the organs of propaganda.
