1 more that is very big which someone already mentioned here. These liberal nitwits have complained about the wars being "recruiting tools" for years. Which, of course, they weren't. But this trial will be the biggest recruiting tool we've ever seen. It will be plastered over Al Jazeera every day, inflaming the entire ME. It is very likely to cause another "lucky strike" somewhere in America.

the article does not make sense and the writer contradicts himself. 1. KSM has already confessed and asked to be martyred – So why don’t we grant him that right? Justice will be served. Instead we have a lengthy show trial put on display at the expense of the American public. Hmm, eight years after the events 9/11, I guess this is not long enough as for the expense of the American public, hey we gave the banksters billions of dollars, spending trillions on two Bush's endless wars, few million dollars will not make a deference. 2. What evidence? – What evidence do we REALLY have on him? Most of it is probably circumstantial based on eye-witness accounts and testimonies from informants. How do you PROVE beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s guily of “masterminding” the 9-11 attacks? The defense has so much to work off of it’s not even fair. Of course when the mastermind ends up to be on the US government payroll, it would be embarrassing. existentialistcowboy.blogspot.com 3. These are not normal criminals. KSM wasn’t arrested the same way all criminals are arrested. He wasn’t read his Miranda rights, wasn’t given a lawyer, wasn’t given a phone call, wasn’t given the other NORMAL procedural rights given to a prisoner being held by the justice system. He was also subjected to enhanced interrogations. I can picture it now…”My Client was TORTURED!” There is a HUGE potential for the defense to use these arguments during trial claiming unfair and/or harsh treament which could ultimately lead to crucial evidence being dismissed from the case. Huh, what crucial evidence? Didn't the writer say in section 2 that we do not have any evidence? Suddenly in section 3 we have crucial evidence. 4. The danger of exposing our intelligence community – What’s going to happen? Will CIA and FBI agents be forced to testify? Will their identities be revealed? Will the judge allow classified intelligence allowed in as evidence to be brought forth to the public? The potential for this show trial is damning when you think about how it could expose our intelligence services tactics and thought process. When this kind of sensitive information goes public, it puts our country at greater risk, especially those who work within the intelligence community. Huh, Scooter Libby doesn't think so. 5. A Platform at Ground Zero to mock the 9-11 victims and their families – Just imagine the ridiculous defense tactics that will be used by the well-funded (You know for sure some left wing group will defend them (maybe Eric Holder’s old firm? They’ve got the experience). It’s a disgrace that a public platform will be used in the heart of manhatten to make a mockery of the suffering of 9-11 victims’ families. The mockery of the suffering of 9-11 victims' families is the lack of investigations into the events of 9/11. existentialistcowboy.blogspot.com video.google.com
