Bill Clinton got convictions in Federal Court too in the first world trade center bombing, but did he get any gleaning information as to what was going to happen next? That's the pre-9/11 mentality I'm talking about. I think Holder is pushing the KSM trial as opposed to Obama doing it (although I think Obama can stop it). Holder's law firm (former or current I'm not sure) is known for representing terrorists. I think Holder has unfortunately his own agenda to play out. He's after the Bush administration and anything related.

The law allows some terrorists to be tried through the courts. When Obama gave his speech on foreigh policy around the time he announced the close of gitmo, he gave outlined different categories of terrorists and how they will be tried (military tribunals vs courts, disclose of issues related to national security). To me i'm not that upset that UFA is going through the courts because this will be a straight forward case and he will be convicted. The only issue i see with that is was 30 hours enough for them to get whatever information about al-queda. Since even within the military the CIA is charged with getting intelligence, i'll trust that they did and got enough info from him.He is also not at a high level within al-queda which sort of leads me to believe that his knowledge of their structure is limited (it's the same issue with the shoe bomber who was successfully tried in a Federal court in 2002 and found guilty). I do fault the administration for not connecting the dots on this guy though. 2. with regards to closing gitmo, the fact is not that he wants to close gitmo that is the foul up (even John McCain was supportive of closing gitmo), but that they annouced it closing without a strategy on what to do after it is closed. That is the major foul up. 3.KSM- That one i'm not sure about the reasoning to retrialing him especially since he has pleaded guilty.I'm still scratching my head on that one. a few points
