Washington — The Obama administration, after weeks of controversy over its proposal to hold a civilian terror trial in New York, gave ground Friday and revived the possibility of using a military tribunal to try professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Attorney General Eric Holder and White House spokesman Robert Gibbs did not rule out a military trial when asked about the administration’s options.
Suit alleges deceit by Blackwater
Raleigh, N.C. — Two former Blackwater Worldwide employees say the security company repeatedly billed the U.S. government for excessive or inappropriate expenses, including a prostitute for workers in Afghanistan and strippers in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In a federal lawsuit filed in Virginia, Brad and Melan Davis say Blackwater officials also deceived the government by double-billing for travel costs and creating false invoices. Mark Corallo, a spokesman for the Moyock, N.C.-based company, now named Xe, said the lawsuit is misguided and noted that the Justice Department declined to join the case.
