Holder tells senators ‘We need not cower in the face of this enemy’

Holder vowed that the U.S. would not surrender to fear or politics in seeking justice against the alleged Sept. 11 plotters in federal court.

“We need not cower in the face of this enemy,” Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee at a packed hearing. “Our institutions are strong, our infrastructure is sturdy, our resolve is firm, and our people are ready.”

I don’t see how giving them a military trial instead of a federal trial is cowering in the face of this enemy.
