Does anyone know if the acquittals in this civil trial will preclude similar charges being brought up in a military tribunal? For instance, could Ghailani be charged with targeting civilians (a war crime) in a military court?

I’m not sure but Obama kept Bush’s policy on indefinite detention so if the trial started to go badly I think they could just send him back to prison and wait some more.
