It makes you wonder if Holder just needs more time to find the right army of attorneys to defend KSM.<<<
Or testing us and stalling for time to do it as they planned all along.
Wouldn’t surprise me to find the whole game is to set them all free and let them get back to killing Americans.

The Cheonan Crisis?
I have a short piece at Guardian: Comment is Free on the sinking of the Cheonan:
If the sinking of Cheonan was intentional, it creates a serious crisis for the Koreas’ neighbours and for the United States. None of the US, Japan, or China desire the threat of major military action on the Korean Peninsula. The US, still embroiled in Iraq and Afghanistan, doesn’t want another military confrontation on its plate. At the same time, it will be difficult for the US to restrain South Korea from some form of retaliation. Japan’s patience with North Korea has similarly run thin, and it is unlikely that Tokyo could be relied on too heavily as a voice of caution. Beijing has only limited affection for its North Korean client, but certainly does not want war, or even the threat of war. North Korea’s intentions remain mysterious; if it intended to signal its toughness and resolve to South Korea, it may have bitten off more than it can chew.

UPDATE: This report indicates that 58 of the crew had been picked up by midnite, which would be about an hour and a half ago. Make sure to follow CDR Salamander for additional updates.
