I'm not as concerned about them escaping after conviction as I am that a judge will dismiss charges against them before they're convicted because of the rules we have to protect the accused.

Then there is the issue of using the civilian court as a propaganda platform and the prospect the trial will draw terror attacks to NYC or wherever its held.

Furthermore, I know this whole issue is unnecessary:

On December 8, 2008, Mohammed and four co-defendants sent a note to the military judge expressing their desire to confess and plead guilty.

"Top 9/11 suspects to plead guilty". BBC News. December 8, 2008. news.bbc.co.uk.

Why didn't Obama and Holder just let the process, which has been determined to be legal, to continue.
