US Preparing to Try 60 to 80 Detainees at Gitmo: Official

YEEHAW, Git er done!

GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA (AFP) - The United States is laying plans to try 60 to 80 Al-Qaeda and Taliban suspects for war crimes at this remote naval base starting as early as mid 2007, senior US defense officials said.

It is unclear whether the biggest fish here -- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and 13 other top Al-Qaeda captives brought here September 5 from secret CIA detention centers -- will be among those tried.
