Obama Reverses again, Plans to restart Tribunals at Gitmo

WASHINGTON -- President Obama is expected to announce Friday that he will re-institute the military tribunals he initially put on hold, two senior officials told FOX News.

Thirteen detainees have been identified as likely candidates for this approach, and that number may well grow larger, as prosecutors review a number of cases in which the re-instated military commissions could be used.

Administration officials, however, refused to speculate on the precise number of cases that will be adjudicated in military commissions, and they wouldn't confirm an Associated Press report that 10-20 additional detainees in custody at Guantanamo Bay will be subject to these trials. - FOX News Story
