[Old School]

Keep America Safe (William Kristol, Elizabeth Cheney) has as its purpose to attack the Obama Administration's national security decisions and to, thereby, vindicate those of the Bush Administration. It's a political advocacy group perhaps best characterized by protester Carolyn Walton, who called Holder a "Marxist mole." She said, "How can someone who is not an American have any right to our rights? Holder wants to help the terrorists."

Ms. Holder does not speak for me. I believe that the American justice system can build a case, put on trial, announce and carry out sentence against Mohammed in a way that makes us proud to be Americans. Why do we fear the words a man such as Khalid Mohammed might speak? He is an insignificant mole when compared to America's commitment to justice.

Holder was born and raised in New York City...his mother still lives in the city. His brother is a retired Port Authority Police Officer who lost many friends on 9/11. Why not bring Khalid Mohammed to New York, to NEW YORK, to answer for his alleged crimes in a courthouse just blocks away from where the Twin Towers once stood?

I do realize this, as spoken by Bill Martel of Tufts: "When public fear coalesces, it generates forces that are almost uncontrollable by the political leadership." So, Hoot, you and those of your mindset may "win" this debate, but, oftentimes, my friend, there is much more to wrong or right than a showing of hands.

First let me say that I think our system is the best in the world, however it is not perfect. While our current system has sent many criminals to prison many have also fell through the cracks. How many guilty people have gone free? How many innocent people are serving or have served time for a crime they did not commit?

Am I afraid of what KSM may say in a public trial...hardly, what I am afraid of is what information his defense attorney's may ask for in this trial. My understanding is that KSM's attorney's could and would ask for classified information that would compromise the safety of our troops and citizens.

As Mr. K or Hoot stated, Barry, Joe and Bob have all said he is guilty and will be executed. Wouldn't commits like these cause a mistrial in a public court.
