White House: 9/11 trial 'multiple options'

Isn't it all academic anyway?

Our Law School Professor President Genius already announced to the world that KSM would be found guilty in civilian court. Funny how a Harvard trained lawyer would pronounce the outcome and sentence of a defendant before a trial even begins. I guess he skipped the day when they dicussed "presumption of innocence" in his Criminal Law class.

What a complete joke.
A year into his administration, and Obama still can't make a decision about KSM.

The Official Unraveling of the Obama Presidency
*
It can be no secret by now that President Obama did not have a signature achievement his first year in office. Of all his major initiatives, health care, cap and trade, civilian trials for terrorists and the “stimulus” bill – only the so-called stimulus bill was enacted. Hardly a success, as more Americans than not know what Paul Krugman and E.J. Dionne do not – that it was a bad idea. Worse for the Democrats — none of those efforts have produced a greater consensus or momentum for them or Obama. To the contrary, the Democrats lost key races in 2009, a Democrat House Member defected to the Republicans, the nation is more divided than ever and the Democrat Party is in disarray — as in the Obama presidency.

Not to be out-done by 2009, in 2010, the Obama presidency has endured:
(1) the loss of the Kennedy seat (which is how the Democrats view that race) even though Obama stumped for the Democrats’ candidate;
(2) Obama’s deficit commission was shot down;
(3) The unions are warning the Democrats that they are “going to have a hard time getting members out to vote”;
(4) Democrats are slowly signing onto a bill to defeat Obama’s civilian trial for terrorists,
(5) Obama’s TSA nomination died before a vote;
(6) Obama’s NLRB nomination died after a vote;
(7) Nancy Pelosi is openly criticizing Obama’s plans for a job bill;
(8) Some Democrats are openly worrying about the political effect of the expiration of the Bush tax cuts;
(9) the left, in general, is openly criticizing Obama on a host of issues from the wars to his comments on Wall Street bonuses.
In other words, far from standing with Obama, Democrats have no fear of Obama anymore and all of that is playing almost daily in the nation’s newspapers, TV and the internet. Obama’s troubles are coming far too fast for even the mainstream media to ignore. Highlighting all of those problems is the fact that Obama’s poll numbers have reached new lows.

The most annoying part of the terrorist trial isn’t that Obama and Holder opted to try the terrorists in a civilian court. I could live with that. The most annoying part is that, now, the Obama administration has shown its lack of decisiveness and resolution by suggesting that the trial might actually take place before a military tribunal … AGAIN!
.
The very terrorists were already on trial before a military tribunal when the Obama administration put the kibosh on it. KSM had already offered to plead guilty in that proceeding. And then it got stopped with the announcement that the terrorists will be put on trial in New York. And now we are back to the possibility of a military tribunal.
.
So here’s the basic question: Are we, or are we not, going to put these guys on trial? They have been cooling their heels in Gitmo for a very long time. Justice delayed is justice lost. I am sure most Americans - as well as the terrorists - would agree that SOME trial, civilian or military, is better than none at all. None at all is where we seem to be right now.
.
Hillary was right. Obama doesn’t have 3:00 a.m. nerve. He doesn’t even have the 12:01 p.m. nerve. If the administration can’t make up its mind after all this time about something as fundamental as getting a trial under way, I cringe to think of what they are going to do when a real problem arises that must be solved in the space of hours or days. The prospect of building that bomb shelter in my back yard is beginning to look more and more attractive every day.

It will be a remarkable day when any of Eric Holder's knee-jerk responses do not have to be reversed by common sense. If Holder wants a civilian trial of any terrorist, let him hold it at the Attorney General office building with him present. If any congressman wants civilian trials held in the U.S., let him/her offer to hold it in his/her home town. The silence will be deafening.

Then Again, Maybe Not: Of Rats and Ratholes

We’re all entitled to change our minds. Given the fallibility of the human species, rarely are people’s opinions and ideas so chiselled in stone that they never re-think their actions and beliefs.

Exceptions to that rule of thumb must be made for individuals who are so caught up in themselves, so arrogantly obsessed with their own rectitude and infallibility that their pride negates any possibility of reassessment and retrenching.

Barack Obama comes to mind in that regard but we mortals frequently change our minds, whether for better or worse.

A number of opinion changes have hit the wires lately, mostly forced changes:

. Civilian shimilian, who cares?

Obama’s attorney general may have at least a smattering of that mortality since he seems ready to reassess a significant and erroneous decision, namely trying 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four sidekicks in a civilian court within crying distance of Ground Zero.

Some still refer to KSM as the “alleged” or the “accused” mastermind of the 9/11 atrocity but he’s much more than that. With a little help from America’s best interrogation friend, waterboarding, Mohammed spilled his guts so in my book he’s the confessed leader of that rat pack.

Months ago, Eric Holder, obviously running interference for his boss, made the ostensibly independent decision to hold the trial in federal court in lower Manhattan. This was while Obama and Holder still believed they had control of our government and the minds of the people.

Neither is the case any longer.

Holder and his minions have used the Bush precedent of successfully trying shoe bomber Richard Reid and other terrorists in civilian courts which was a misleading deception from the outset.

Most of those trials took place in the early days of the war on . . .

What, have we gone pansies all of sudden, because of some morons who want to harm America!!? We deal with that stupid mentality every day, here in America, they're called criminals !! When did we start letting criminals tell us, how we will run our judiciary, how we will practice our constitution !!? Have you all gone bananas, because some morons, who happen to be from a foreign country want to harm us !!? Come on, America, I know we are made of sterner stuff than that !! So, put away those wilting violets and stand up to these idiots. This is our country and we tell the criminals what to do, not the other way around !! What, have you lost your minds !!? We'll try them where ever we want to try them. If downtown New York is chosen, appropriate, since it is the scene of one of their acts of stupidity, than that is where we will try them. We will try them in our criminal courts and, if appropriate, they will be incarcerated in our prison system. That is our system of Justice. American justice, not some cowering pansy who wants them tried on another planet, so they don't hurt us, any more. What ridiculousness !!? I bet that was some of Session's whining !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Bush tried nearly 200 terror suspects, including Richard Reid, in civillian courts.
