Frank Gaffney: War Courts for War Criminals

A ticking political time bomb has been largely obscured by official Washington's preoccupation with screwing up our health care system: Americans are dead-set against a foolish, ill-considered and reckless decision to give the 9/11 plotters civilian trials - and constitutional rights - within spitting distance of Ground Zero in lower Manhattan.
 
And spit they will.  A lawyer representing one of the accused has made clear that his client and the ringleader of the conspiracy, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) will plead not guilty, and use the trial as a platform to inveigh against this country and its policies. 
 
Never mind that KSM and his friends had previously announced they would proudly admit their guilt and demand to be executed for this horrific war crime.  Now, Attorney General Eric Holder has given them what the self-described mastermind of the September 11 attacks has wanted from the moment he was captured: A lawyer and a trial in New York.
