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.
Side question: Why is Susan Collins reported on Fox this am as “freaking out” in the closed door briefing on the Hasan case? Apparently so shaken by what she heard that she had to leave the room. Some very strange stuff going on.......White House acting strangely.
Why did Obama say Hasan had to be in a military court in order to avoid a circus atmosphere when a circus atmosphere in lower Manhatten for KSM is no big deal?
Bear in mind that KSM will make inflammatory remarks in Arabic, which will then be translated for the benefit of the judge (and others). Any nasty stuff will be out and broadcast to the middle east LITERALLY before the judge knows what has been said.
Good luck with controlling that.
