Hopefully, the judge will supress those motions by the defense during pre-trial motions under the Classified Information Procedures Act.The primary purpose of CIPA was to limit the practice of graymail by criminal defendants in possession of sensitive government secrets. “Gray mail” refers to the threat by a criminal defendant to disclose classified information during the course of a trial.

I would also include the State Secrets Protection Act of 2008

No flame, but try this: Most America-haters won’t be satisfied until we’re all dead. So if we’re going to be excoriated as warmongering global imperialist hegemonists, we might as well throw our weight around as we see fit.

You snipped out the strongest sentence of the article:

The treatment of the 9/11 attacks as a criminal matter rather than as an act of war will cripple American efforts to fight terrorism. It is, in effect, a declaration that this nation is no longer at war.

I don't agree with Yoo's closing paragraph:

KSM's lawyers will not save the government from itself. Instead they will press hard to reveal intelligence secrets in open court. Our intelligence agents and soldiers will be the ones to suffer.

It should close: Our nation will suffer gravely.

I kept trying to get it down to 300 words and still make it readable then I just figured hopefully people would want to read it all anyway to see the disaster they are creating and would go to site thank you for including it. I wish I was able to post it all.

And so much more.

Not KSM on trial ... the Bush Administration on trial.

Federal Court:

1) Miranda Warnings? What evidence is now inadmissible?
2) Jury of peers? Will need to include Muslims then?
3) Discovery? Intel methods as well as information?
4) Closed court, no Press? Doubtful!

What else? It boggles the mind. The President and the Dems are giddy with anticipation now.

A wide range of progressive groups, including MoveOn.org, the ACLU, Code Pink, Media Matters, the SEIU, ACORN, Families USA, Nation of Islam, the AFT and the NEA, have banded together to welcome accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad to the Big Apple. The groups intend to welcome his motorcade, conducted by federal law enforcement officials, with a ticker-tape parade, a staple of New York City celebrations.

This may be satire but it is highly likely to happen. Remember the scene from the movie Independence Day. The aliens hovered above New York and the Empire State Building while hundreds of liberal moonbats gathered below to welcome them -- just before they were blasted into oblivion.

Trying KSM and the others in GITMO in open federal court is a disaster in so many ways, however the worst scenario is that one or more of these terrorists may be acquitted.

All I can say is I wish they would I sometimes wonder if we may yet see a real life Jericho?
