In remarks prepared before Wednesday's hearing, Holder says such concerns are misplaced, because judges can control unruly defendants and any pronouncements by Mohammed would only make him look worse.

I think this will be must see TV on CSPAN and I do hope folks give him hell, I am beyond outraged over this decision and I have read there will be protestors there and I say bravo, make your voice heard.

[Dr. Ursus]

Ask Daniel Pearl’s father how he feels!

[Loyal Buckeye]

We fear Mr. Holder’s beliefs, judgments and motives.

[jacknhoo]

It is telling, the fact this administration is so frequently on the defensive.

[rhombus]

Oh yeah we’re just a bunch of fearful rubes clinging to Bibles and guns... No doubt this trial will do wonderful things for our relations with Muzzie “world”. And don’t forget what great things the OJ trial did for race relations. That worked out real well. I sure hope the trials are televised. Yup, that’ll work. Way to think things through Obama.

[randita]

Current polls show that this is a highly unfavorable decision. One poll cited on Fox last night had a 2 to 1 unfavorable margin.

I also heard that it may be 2013 before this trial even takes place. Will it be delayed that long?

[Ann Archy]

Holder and Bammy have ASSURED us that KSM will be found guilty and get the Death Penalty....hmmmmmmm....did they make a DEAL with KSM already and that’s why they are doind this incredibly STUPID thing???

[Miss Didi]

9/11 family members and NYC firefighters will be on the Hill today to give Holder hell...one firefighter was on with the Friends holding theBravest.com petition with thousands of signatures. Gretchen slammed a guest just now who claimed that the families want the NYC trial for closure—they’re against it as are the American people.

Not only are these people stupid; they are again wasting the peoples money and time.

Attorney General Eric Holder is defending his decision to put the professed Sept. 11 mastermind on trial in New York -- and urging critics of the plan not to cower in the face of terrorists.

Listen you bleeping SOB, this is not about security, it's about giving constitutional rights to scum of the earth terrorists who already should have been hanged or shot. No one is cowering except you, your boss and the rest of your RAT comrades who hate this country and want to turn it over to our enemies.

[SERKIT]

Didn't Eric "The Coward" Holder work for a law firm that defended Gitmo detainees (or other terrorists)? Here is a January 2009 article discussing it.

Will any Senator get this issue into the record and press Holder on it? Are there any other attorneys from the same law firm placed in government jobs to continue to act as defense attorneys for the jihadists?

Here’s a website that faxes letters you write - for free - let D.C hear from you today: http://www.dearpolitician.org/index.php

Letter I faxed to Judiciary Committee this morning:
It’s being reported that Holder will be appearing before this committee today concerning the TERRORIST trials he wants to hold in New York City. This committee has the duty to the American public to deny this outrageous move by Holder. These terrorist are NOT American citizens and have NO rights in our court system or under our Constitution. They belong in front of a military court. For once, put politics aside and do the right thing - send the TERRORISTS to military court. We don’t want or need a side show on this issue.

[Overtaxed Patriot]

Holder better be fearing the repercussions of this trial going bad.

[Malsua]

You know, it just occurred to me.

Imagine if they blunder this and set KSM free or slap on the wrist. That’d be a great way to get the dems out of power for the next 25 years.

You could hang that boat anchor around Obama’s neck and he’s going down.

"In remarks prepared before Wednesday's hearing, Holder says such concerns are misplaced, because judges can control unruly defendants and any pronouncements by Mohammed would only make him look worse."

Really? What happens if KSM decides he wants to represent himself? How is the judge going to "control" him then???

Of course he and his master, DEAR LEADER care less about the fall out, cuz this dog and pony show will last long after the 2012 elections.

[Madame Dufarge]

"We are at war, and we will use every instrument of national power -- civilian, military, law enforcement, intelligence, diplomatic and others -- to win," Holder says.

So we're "at war" but will act in direct contradiction to the fact.

The country's being run by inmates of a minimum-security insane asylum.

I blew up this morning listening to Obama yabbering on about this and how we would now see "delayed justice" for these creeps. YOUR OWN AG WAS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR ALL THE DELAYS YOU DOPE!

[Carley]

Holder doesn’t get the fact that it’s not about us fearing them, it’s about making sure they fear us.

The signal from the O administration is that we are not to be feared.

[PGalt]

Impeach Barack Obama.

Court Martial Barack Obama.

Holder is not this stupid. Holder has already said he expects KSM to be found guilty.....face the death penalty. Given that logic, why would KSM "behave" during his trial? He's already indicated he's willing to be put to death. KSM has nothing to lose in making his "pronouncements" and nothing to gain by staying quiet.

Holder throws around phrases about not cowering, not being skeered, to deflect major concerns about trying him in civilian court. Oh, please, Eric, we're not that stupid, either. That is lame.
