Charles Krauthammer: Travesty in New York
“September 11, 2001 had to speak for itself. A decade later, the deed will be given voice.

“Holder tried to make the case that he chose a civilian New York trial as a more likely venue for securing a conviction. An absurdity: By the time Obama came to office, KSM was ready to go before a military commission, plead guilty and be executed. It’s Obama who blocked a process that would have yielded the swiftest and most certain justice.”
