It appears that non only will they miss the election deadlines, but that the trials will not have started by the time that Bush leaves office either.
This affair is a complete cock-up. We already have the former prosecutor saying that administration officials were demanding convictions because an acquittal would be inconvenient, and , "and one high-ranking Pentagon officer has been quoted talking about the "strategic political value" of doing so before the November elections," so it looks like this mess will be dumped on whoever is sworn in in 2009, as Will Bunch notes.
