| Guantanamo arraignment begins for five accused 9/11 plotters |
| 2008-06-06 |
| The accused mastermind of the September 11 terror attacks is facing a military judge in his long-awaited first public appearance before a war-crimes tribunal. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged co-conspirators have taken their seats at defense tables before Judge Ralph Kohlmann, a Marine colonel. Their arraignment Thursday is the highest-profile test yet of US military's controversial tribunal system. It comes seven years after the attacks. All five face the death penalty if convicted. |

| #2 OP, If I may have the honor of modifying your comments ever so slightly: KSM should be in TRUE solitary; that is, he never sees ANOTHER human being again. Mike |

| #1 KSM wants to become a martyr. I suggest any sentence OTHER than the death penalty. I'd prefer him to stay in solitary confinement at Gitmo until his breathing stops voluntarily. I wouldn't mind if they moved his cage to the area between high and low tide, though, so he could watch the sharks eying him hungrily. |
