What kind of fair trial would he have had? The administration had said that he's guilty, and even if he's found innocent through a technicality he would have never seen the light of day.

The Barry administration just blinked. I'd say this is a trial balloon to see how much heat they get from the loony far left over the prospect of having KSM's trial in a military rather than civilian court.

All of those Terrorist must be tried by a U.S. Army Military tribunal. They must not be given the same rights as American citizens.!

And they all must be tired at Guantanamo Bay Cuba prison.! Guantanamo Bay Prison must not be closed.! It is a vital national asset.
