1. Attorney General Holder, not President Obama, will take the fall.

Taking the fall is part of Holder's (and any other advisors) job. The President has surrounded himself with disposable people so as to insulate himself from criticism.

It's no skin off the president's nose if Holder goes down the crapper because of this.

2. The Martha Stewart Factor.

The media will run cover for Obama in this case, diligently reminding everyone that it all happened under Bush.

The radical left wing wants Bush and Cheney in World Court for this. That is their bottom line goal. KSM will give them all kinds of talking points.

3. KSM is more likely to be convicted and sentenced to death in a military commission.

A guilty verdict is not the point. The left wants to tar and feather conservatives. If the court finds him innocent, the left will try to bury the right. Their lap dogs in the MSM will help them.

Justice isn't the reason why we're trying this guy in civilian court and it never has been.

4. Guantanamo Bay is not closing any time soon.

The narrative has changed. Guantanamo and KSM are now being looked at (on least on the lefty side of the argument) as two different issues.

5. “Not In My Backyard.”

Really can't argue with this one. That said: New Yorkers have been demanding (via their votes in elections) for civilian trials for these guys. THEY SHOULD NOW GET THEM. I'm a big supporter of stupid people getting what they want.

6. Congress will give the administration cover.

The administration doesn't care about the Congress and what it wants. If they did, they would be pushing a more moderate agenda instead of leading them to election disaster.

Obama is a narcassist who actually thinks if it's good for him personally, it's good for everyone. He wants to force healthcare on us even though it doesn't have a majority poll anywhere. He's not going to change course on these trials either. If anything, opposition will only harden his resolve.

7. Trying some terrorists detained at Guantanamo in military commissions and others in civilian trials never made any sense.

No it doesn't. But you're not dealing with rational people - they're libs. Most of what they do makes no sense. In the lib mind, conservatives are worse than terrorists - that's why they come after us harder and with more venom than people who actually want to kill us all.

8. Trying KSM in a military commission will kill the story before the midterm elections.

Obama doesn't give two $h!t$ about the midterm elections because he's not running. If he did care, he'd put Healthcare and cap and trade on hold. If he did, he would extend the Bush tax cuts to just past the election.
