U.S. May Abandon Civilian Trial For 9/11 Suspect Attorney general hints Mohammed may be tried before military commission
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Eric Holder is leaving open the possibility of trying professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed before a military commission instead of the civilian trial originally planned for New York City.
"At the end of the day, wherever this case is tried, in whatever forum, what we have to ensure is that it's done as transparently as possible and with adherence to all the rules," Holder told The Washington Post in an interview published in Friday's editions.
"If we do that, I'm not sure the location or even the forum is as important as what the world sees in that proceeding."

It depends on what the definition of ‘transparency’ is...

Jeez, they love their transparency don’t they,
they use it everywhere but it always turns opaque.

They won’t do it at GITMO, though
I fear they will drag West Point and all our cadets into the terror target bullseye to continue their own political agenda against “GITMO”

Maybe they realized that the pitchforks would come out after they realized that Obama tainted every jury in America, and would have to let a hated terrorist go free.

You simply don’t understand the term “transparency”, as used by Obama and his crew.
If something is transparent, it means you can’t see it.
Hopefully that clears things up for you.

“At the end of the day, wherever this case is tried, in whatever forum, what we have to ensure is that it’s done as transparently as possible and with adherence to all the rules,”
Yeah, like we intentionally planned to do it otherwise. As angry as I become at the system, I just can’t believe we’d blow it on a worthless piece of humanity like KSM. Low profile citizens — yeah, in a heartbeat. What’s another citizen? Never miss them, besides we can import more, but not on something this guy. He’ll get due process the rest of us can only dream of.

Did O vote agnostic on that issue too?

"If we do that, I'm not sure the location or even the forum is as important as what the world sees in that proceeding."So then you are reversing your previous position that it was important, I guess.
My head is spinning.

I knew it was going bad for obummer when I saw chucky schumer ripping on him about having the trial in New York.
New obummer slogan...I was against having the trial at Gitmo before I was for it.

This is the most ignorant, naive, and amateur gang of fools ever to have schlepped into Washington DC. God save us.
