CNN – Guantanamo judge suspends 9/11 case prosecutions: The presiding judge in the 9/11 terrorism case at the Guantanamo detention facility granted a delay in the case on Wednesday, according to a military official close to the proceedings. The continuance comes a day after President Obama directed Defense Secretary Robert Gates to ask prosecutors to seek stays in prosecutions for 120 days so that the cases of suspected terrorists at the facility can be reviewed.

That’s a hell of a first day. Colour me impressed.

Today (thanks to some great work done by Sim-O), most of the action will be over at The Sun: Tabloid Lies as we finally delve into The Echo Chamber…

(dramatic sting)

However, I do have a special treat for long-time readers of Bloggerheads and/or veterans of The Battle of Bush

Today, I’ll be publishing a series of ‘shops that bid farewell to Bush and tell the world what I expect of Barack Obama.

Like Amnesty, I do not expect moonbeams, unicorns and free lollipops.

I do, however, expect better than this:

The hero of 911 does his best not to scare the children

Link to initial B3ta post appears below. A list will grow as the day progresses, and it will all end with a little party in our living room at 5pm GMT (with cake and ice-cream and balloons and streamers).
