We've seen several reports that the Obama Administration is poised to announce, at a 2 P.M. press conference today, that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be tried by a military commission. There is also a House Judiciary Committee hearing scheduled for tomorrow morning that seems particularly timely in light of this development. The hearing is titled "Justice for America: Using Military Commissions to Try the 9/11 Conspirators."
