If Obama accepts these recommendations, it would be a sign that he is capable of acknowledging when a policy is unpopular and reversing course on it. The Washington Post has the story:
President Obama’s advisers are nearing a recommendation that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, be prosecuted in a [...]
