Score another glorious victory to Jihad. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind, and four other Gitmo detainees will face trial in a civilian federal court. Now, instead of letting their guilty plea stand in military court, and closing the matter, these war criminals are extended all the privileges of U.S. citizens. Giving these Jihadists, who preach that it is the duty of every Muslim to kill as many Christians, Jews and Infidels as possible, this opportunity to spew their hateful rhetoric in open court is a great help in recruiting would-be terrorists.
The next logical step will be to have the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the man President Obama once claimed as his "best friend and closest advisor," testify as to the justification of the 9/11 attack, as he did in his "Chickens home to roost" speech. The reverend could also bring along one of his best friends and associates, the Rev. Louis Farrakhan, to minister to and comfort the prisoners.
Take heart, it could get worse. Attorney General Erick Holder could just dismiss the whole trial and free the prisoners, like he did with the Black Panthers who were accused of intimidating voters at a polling place in Philadelphia during the '08 election.

Secondly it is a military matter not a civil matter and our president and Holder need to keep their opinions and grubby paws out of it.
As for me, I think they should be given two simple choices, be hung or shot. Nough said, its more than they offered their victims.
Until the idiots currently running this country understand the only way to handle a terrorist is to kill them, we will continue to be attacked.
