Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court. This was an act of war and these individuals should be tried in a Military venue. Another misguided step by the current administration. Despite the fact that in 2006, then-Senator Barack Obama said that Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and other Guantanamo Bay detainees would receive a “full military trial.”
Update to this post – The trial of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in NYC is NOT the story. This administration is uncanny at controlling the message. The trial is simply a slight of hand to take your focus off of the Health Care bill, Cap & Trade, and EFCA. So far, working perfectly as planned. (h/t MKP)

While educated voters are an endangered species; conservative Republicans are probably extinct.
