I guess their too busy suing AZ.


The Obama administration has shelved the planned prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged coordinator of the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, according to a court filing.

The decision at least temporarily scuttles what was supposed to be the signature trial of a major al-Qaeda figure under a reformed system of military commissions. And it comes practically on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the attack, which killed 17 sailors and wounded dozens when a boat packed with explosives ripped a hole in the side of the warship in the port of Aden.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/26/AR2010082606353.html

They need to tie the bomber to a right-wing Christian group. They would probably shoot him without a trial.
