We've tried lots of terrorists before in Federal courts, and things turned out just fine. This will be no different.
I really don't know why conservatives are so bloody scared of KSM. This isn't X-Men, he's not Magneto. He's just a mortal man who will be tried and found guilty of his crimes.
Can't wait for this circus to get going. The blowback from it is going to hit Obama right in arrogant face and deservedly so.
