Dumb idea
By Mark R. Levin

In Sunday’s New York Daily News, Bob Kerrey writes, in part:

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed should be brought to New York City to stand trial for the crime of murdering nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001. President Bush should intervene in the process that is now taking place in Guantanamo, Cuba, and appeal to Congress to modify the Military Commissions Act so that justice can be done on U.S. soil – in our civilian criminal court system.

This is a dumb idea. If this mass-murderer is brought to the U.S. for trial in our civilian court system, all the rights granted to defendants in the civilian court system would be available to him. Plus, all the confidential information used to develop a case against him would be compromised. Frankly, it’s embarrassing to listen to these politicians and their boneheaded ideas. Carl Levin and Lindsey Graham watched this terrorist’s military hearing and came way with concern that he may have been mistreated during his detention and interrogation. They issued a joint release stating that they might want to modify current law to address KSM’s allegation of abuse. This is a Mohammed in Wunderland approach to fighting terrorism. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed is responsible for plotting 9/11!
