By PAULINE JELINEK
Associated Press Writer 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon said Monday it is charging a Saudi Arabian with "organizing and directing" the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole - and will seek the death penalty.
Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Hartmann, legal adviser to the U.S. military tribunal system, said charges are being sworn against Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi of Yemeni descent, who has been held at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006.

)
Another case of our government in action? You know how it works.
I'd love to give you more in-depth answers, but your discussions usually go right over this blonde head! (You know me!) I'm so preoccupied with day-to-day living that I sometimes can't see the broader picture. Sorry!
