I will say this lawyer, Scott Fenstermaker, gets what the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and his four cohorts in the 9/11 terror attacks is all about.
It is about putting United States foreign policy on trial.
And it is straight from one of the horse's mouth, one Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali.
Now, maybe that is the real reason that the Attorney General, Eric Holder, made the bone-head decision to try the five defendants in civilian court and in New York City.
No, Mr. Holder tip-toed around that when questioned in congressional hearings last week.
But, if this is not just a show trial and Mohammad and his cohorts will be found guilty, then why have such a public exercise?
Because Mr. Holder and by extension the Dear Leader, President Obama, want to put on trial the way the Bush 43 administration handled the 9/11 event and subsequently, the War Against Islamofacsist Terror. And blame decades of American foreign policy in regards to Israel.
Sure, Mr. Holder had a lot of bravado about not being afraid of Mohammad or his cohorts, but what would happen if one or all are not convicted?
To hear Mr. Holder and the Dear Leader, President Obama, talk, it is a forgone conclusion that the five high-powered terrorists are going to be convicted and executed. Yes, I am sure that is what many a prosecutor thought in any other trial. Only to have the rug pulled out from under them and see the defendant acquitted.
Back to the issue at hand.
It is not a doubt that these five thugs are going to use the civilian federal courts to have their soapbox slamming the United States and their relationship with Israel. And that Americans should convert to Islam. And whatever other rantings are on their minds.
The danger in that is that at some point aspects of American security measures will also be on trial. Such as the alleged "torture" perpetrated by the United States against Mohammad. I guess the coward that sliced the head off of Wall Street Journal writer Daniel Pearl did not commit acts of torture. No, a little waterboarding is so much worse than slicing heads off.
I am afraid that this is what the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, et al will be. A show trial. A show trial against the United States and American foreign policy. And it is the worst venue for such a thing to occur.
