>>> That always happens with high-profile terrorists. Those "high-profile terrorists" you're referring to that have been previously tried were not enemy combatants, they were arrested in a law-enforcement process. There is a huge difference. Everyone has talked about lack of Miranda rights and waterboarding. But the entire process is different. There has never been, or at most a very small number, of terrorists tried under these circumstances. The suggestion that we have any meaningful experience in trying people under these circumstances is simply not true. I would like to think Holder knows what he's doing here. But it takes one Muslim on the jury to f*ck it up. And Holder is not exactly a glowing example of competence. And his boss, unfortunately, is just as bad. There is no reason at all to feel confident they will win a conviction here. And these people probably aren't going to be tried together so it could well occupy al Jazeera, heating up the Middle East, for years. One of the more stupid moves this president has made. Although the number of stupid moves is pretty much countless at this point.
