The opposition to this trial is so unbelievably transparent. If Obama were supporting military tribunals the same chorus of National Review idiots would be squealing about Obama perverting our legal system and demanding that a trial be held in New York.

Rudy Giuliani is case and point. He’s such a blatant hypocrite that the Daily Show was able to edit together video so he debates himself over this very same issue.
Here.

There is no additional terror threat to New York City. There is no risk of KSM being set free considering the overwhelming case we have built against him, and considering the US is 145-0 when prosecuting terror cases in Federal Court. Since when did hardcore “war-on-terror” conservatives become such bedwetters when it comes to bringing a single terrorist in a cage to NYC?

I am personally very dubious about doing this in civilian court. However, I have to agree that this would be argued the other way ‘round by everyone, depending on the party of the parties involved.
