KSM to Trial

"Alleged" 9/11 Mastermind being brought to trail.

Back to the old war vs. crime distinction on terrorism.

Ask yourself this question: suppose that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's trial results in an acquittal or a hung jury. Would the Obama administration really let him go? If so, they are crazy. If not, why are they holding the trial?


I suppose Himmler was "allegedly" involved with the final solution and Japan "allegedly" bombed Pearl Harbor.

Whatever we are doing against Islamic Extremism - a war or a criminal investigation - the whole thing vacillates between being over lawyered and immoral, as if a courtroom verdict is necessary to determines what is right or true. KSM masterminded 9/11 - I don't need a courtroom to verify it or need a courtroom verdict to hold him to account. And do we really need lawyers to prevent torture? Isn't that just common sense and course of business in the army?
