#1 I think we already concluded---from the actions of the AG that he's appointed, what respect Obama has for your legal system.

#2 Its a good thing that since the war on terror is now the prosecution for initiators of man made disasters that there is lawyer in the White House, a constitutional lawyer at that, because if lawfare is going to be the new course than it just makes sense...wait what'd he say? Dammit.

#3 I didn't vote for the man, but I wanted him to work out.

He's becoming a parody of a bad president.

#4 I am not a lawyer, but I've watched a lot of TV shows about courts, and I read overlawyered.com.
Seems to me that a good defense lawyer could get the whole case thrown out on Obama's statements alone. How can a jury render an impartial decision when the President of the United States has said that KSM is guilty, and that he will be executed! Talk about influencing the jury pool!

#5 And, because someone has to say it: Just imagine if Bush had done that.

#6 Its not law enforcement, this is a military matter. Damned scumbag lawyers Obama and Holder.

There go our civil liberties, destroyed by the precedents this case will set by forcing military tribunal techniques into the criminal courts.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed pleaded guilty eleven months ago and asked for the death penalty at his tribunal.

Why did they not accept it and get it over with? What is Obama doing, why did he block that and why is he going with the most stupid and dragged out way he could have done this?

#7 If the President of the United States, formally the most powerful man in the world, declares that "New York will feel better about it when hes put to death" how can KSM possibly get a fair trial in New York City, much less anywhere in the world?

Else, what is the point of the trial?

#8 What is Obama doing, why did he block that and why is he going with the most stupid and dragged out way he could have done this?

That's a rhetorical question, right?

#9 O stepped in it this time. The cop in Cambridge was little league. Now he gave the defense a big a$$ed gift.

#10 Nixon made a mistake when he opined that Charles Manson was guilty. This is about ten times worse.

Prediction: KSM gets acquitted on a technicality and then deported to Pakistan to 'face charges'.

#11 Where he will be convicted and sentenced to time served, Pappy?
