Washington
(Nov 18)
House Speaker-designate John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement in response to terrorist Ahmed Ghailani being acquitted on all but one charge :

“The decision by this Administration to try terrorists in civilian court was the wrong one from day one, and yesterday’s acquittal on 284 of 285 charges against Ghailani is further proof it has no overarching strategy to prosecute the War on Terror and keep America safe.  It’s time for the Administration to reverse course, and commit to keeping Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other Gitmo detainees outside the United States and to try them in military courts.

“In the Pledge to America , Republicans made clear that terrorists should be tried in military, not civilian, courts, and we are committed to passing legislation to do just that.  Republicans are committed to using every tool at its disposal to confront and defeat the terrorist threat – that is how we can best protect the American people and set an example for the world.”
