I didn’t suggest that we should have sent KSM to the Hague, I was merely responding to someone’s question. That being said, I don’t think it would necessarily be a bad idea because he is an international criminal in the truest sense of the word. There were hundreds of international victims of the 9/11 attacks, in addition to the thousands of Americans. Not to mention the Al Qaida attacks perpetrated in London and other international cities. Holding the trial internationally would also limit the ability of anti-American groups to paint the results of the trial as tainted by the “great satan.” You’re right that it’s never going to happen though.

The International Court system arrested Pinochet and Karadzic, but has always allowed Europe to warmly welcome Fidel Castro with open arms. So, so long as anti-Americanism is the animating genius of that continent, I don’t trust them to do justice to America’s enemies.
