Eric Holder’s decision to try Khalid Sheik Mohamed in civilian court in NYC is not about justice; it’s about interrogation and the CIA.

I am not a lawyer, but I’ve watched enough Law & Order to get an idea on how things work, things like discovery – and through the discovery process, the prosecution will be obligated to disclose the nature of KSM’s confession. The defense then will be allowed to call “expert” witnesses to clarify, verify, and vilify the CIA for the measures taken to secure that confession, and most of it, if not all of it, will become public record.

When Obama was asked about the trial this morning, he said “I am absolutely convinced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be subjected to the most exacting demands of justice.”

Justice?! Are you kidding me! Does anyone honestly think there are twelve objective people in that jury pool? This is so obviously political – the case is slam dunk in NYC, guarantee a conviction, and, at the same time, expose all the intelligence and military dirty laundry.
