Once again, this was done deliberately in order to weaken the U.S. justice system and to set precedents that will make it impossible to fight foreign terrorism and even impossible to ever again effectively fight a foreign war.
These people are not incompetent boobs (well, OK, Holder is), but rather brilliant strategists bent on destroying the might of the United States in order to turn it into nothing more than "just one nation amongst hundreds". It will take a constitutional amendment to undo the damage that this trial will produce.

That’s an outrageous accusation. KSM loves crunchy.

If I were KSM’s lawyer, I would demand muzzies on the jury. “Peers” and all that. Only after my motions for dismissal because of various rights violations were denied.

Clearly, this is all part of Obama’s promise of “shovel ready jobs”.
Shoveling all of the BS from the mouths of the terrorists and their lawyers.

Theier attorney has already hinted that they will proceed with a defense based something on the order of
“self defense”...or to prove justifiction for what they did.
In other words throw out there the US atrocities to the Muslim faith etc etc. Then show that what they did was an act of preservation.

I’d say there is only one thing to do right now, and that is for sane and intelligent people to take this issue before the SCOTUS and ask where should these people be tried, and who has the juridiction to make that decision. If it is the president, then make it so.
AS much as I loathe these people, I now realize that the sheer act of trying bring these people to trial in a civilian court, while at the same time hold hearings against the CIA interrogators... speaks volumes about the president...

Obviously, and Federal judge not in the bag will dismiss these charges in a nanosecond.
I wonder if that's the point.

Just to follow up on this thread that I had started.
Source and quotes from the article:
http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/12/01/suspected-terrorist-asks-judge-to-dismiss-case/
We respectfully submit that this case presents possibly the most unique and egregious example of a speedy trial violation in American jurisprudence to date,
This motion asks one primary question, the lawyers, Peter E. Quijano, Michael K. Bachrach and Gregory Cooper, wrote. Can national security trump an indicted defendants constitutional Right to a Speedy Trial? We respectfully submit that the answer is emphatically and without qualification, No.

Yes, the case should be dismissed.
KSM is not guilty of any crimes under the US Code - he's fighting a war against the United States.
We didn't prosecute Fuchida - we nuked his country.
If the rules of criminal procedure are followed, there's no way this "case" won't be dismissed.
