By Andrew C. McCarthy "In sum, by moving the case to civilian court this far into the process, the Obama administration sinks down the drain the years of work that went into pretrial litigation in the military court — work that cost taxpayers untold millions of dollars. That is, despite that talk about avoiding delay, the administration has gratuitously saddled the public with years of wasted effort, years of extra work, and mountains of extra expense."...."The administration has taken a case that was ripe and ready for a swift, successful conclusion — a case in which prosecutors and the public had invested enormous effort and expense — and turned it into what will be a years-long struggle."
