4 Reasons Holder Failed to Convince Me on Terror Trials

by Charles "Cully" Stimson

"In his recent appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Eric Holder had the opportunity to outline clearly the Obama administration’s approach to the vexing legal issues surrounding the war against terrorists. More importantly, he had the chance to explain his decision to send Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other terrorists to New York for a civilian trial in federal court. A distinguished prosecutor, Holder needed to put to rest the many legitimate concerns that have arisen lately about the administration’s approach to terrorism, and rebut each one with ready facts and irrefutable logic."

"His performance was, to be blunt, a failure."

There's no wonder! He would have to be a magician to justify this ludicrous and preposterous decision. I mean, when the negative consequences are quite clear even to people without any juristic education, there must really be something wrong about it. The dialogue between Mr. Graham and AG was a nice example of how "well-thought" such a consideration was. Lorne
