Debunking the myths surrounding KSM's trial

Five: Mohammed will be acquitted on some technicality endorsed by a federal judge. Fact: After eight years of reporting on terrorism law, I am not aware of any judge, anywhere, who is eager to pervert the law to give Mohammed a break. The idea that the federal courts are soft on terrorism is unfair to the hundreds of jurists who have repeatedly endorsed government policy on terrorism, both before and after the 2001 attacks. Capital murder suspects get off on “technicalities” (read: constitutional rights) far less often than you see in prime time. And even if Mohammed is somehow acquitted, which isn’t going to happen, the feds will then immediately pick him up and put him back in the military brig.
