Holder has yet to articulate any reason whatsoever why trying the 9/11 terrorists in New York is better than trying them by military commission at Gitmo. In separate interviews with Rudy Giuliani and Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) we can hear the nearly limitless potential pitfalls of New York trials and none for Gitmo.
After his Senate testimony today, Holder was confronted by a woman who lost a son Flight 93. She accused him of giving the military commissions short shrift and enabling a media circus in which KSM will be allowed to rant and put the country on trial. Once again, he failed to address the issue. He tells her he did not give them short shrift and that the defendants ranted in the commissions too. Funny, I don’t recall breathless liberal news organizations gleefully giving endless blow-by-blow of those antics. Maybe that is because the military doesn’t allow circuses to take place during trials.
In any event, the real money quote is at the very end of the clip; a statement that apparently passes for substantive policy argument in the Obama administration.
Trust me.
And even if he gets across-the-board convictions, why should we trust him when the process itself will cause damage to the country both psychologically and financially.
KSM and the boys wanted to plead guilty and get the death penalty. If Holder really wants to get this wrapped up quickly, just take their pleas and start handing out the blindfolds and cigarettes.
They can send me the bill for the bullets.

I wish I could say, “unbelievable,” but unfortunately for the good ol’ USA it is all too believable for this administration & its minions.
Do they take volunteers for the firing squads? I’d even bring my own gun.
I think there would be a long line for that. And Holder would be there to collect our guns.
You’re raining on my parade, Bill. A girl can dream, can’t she?
I lost two college friends in the North Tower and I’m absolutely livid over this decision. I don’t trust the POS Holder as far as I can throw him. Trust doesn’t come naturally to me when I have a husband in the military whose existence is put in peril by the bastards he’s coddling.
This whole show trial will bring unnecessary anguish and anger to those who lost people on 9/11. This is either the most thoughtless PC stunt this administration can come up with or they’re trying to convince their many fans in Europe that while we can’t get that Global Warming doomsday bill passed we can, indeed, cuddle terrorists and make their troubled hearts all better.
