That statement only explains why we need to try KSM. It has absolutely nothing to do with Obama's decision decided to try KSM in civil court in NYC. Lindsey Graham, to his credit, grilled Holder on the appropriateness of trying KSM in civil court as opposed to a military one, and Eric Holder was dancing all around Graham's questions regarding that. But I have not heard the precise reason for his deciding to do to it in civil court, or why in NYC. What needs to be done is to grill Mr. Obama to find out what his underlying reason is for it, and why he is doing more to protect KSM's rights over protecting the American people. I suspect it has to do more with Obama's feeling about war itself, and maybe deals he has going on with other countries in trying to accomplish his agenda and goals that he is working. The problem with that is that he seems to be doing so without regard to established U.S. laws and policies. A question: should not the Supreme Court be consulted in this matter, and others, where Obama is crossing the lines?
