Lightning could not strike twice for Harvard on the night.

At present, his case and many other prominent ones appear essentially stalled at the specially formed military commissions, which the Obama campaign has pledged to halt. But prosecuting Mohammed and other cases like his in federal court may prove tricky. At least some of the evidence against Mohammed looks to have been gathered during harsh interrogations, which may make it inadmissible in court. His arrest and detention had none of the necessary steps provided under U.S. civilian law that help safeguard...
