A trial date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. . .in 2021 powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/… via @powerlineUS
@powerlineUS These bastards should have been executed no later than in 2009, after they acknowledged, and attempted to justify, their roles in the 9/11 terrorism. But if a trial was needed, it should have occurred years ago.
@powerlineUS It was Obama who decided, idiotically, that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried in federal court in New York City. That way, the U.S. could demonstrate the glories of our legal system and prove to the world that we’re not like al Qaeda. Or something.
@powerlineUS Fortunately, there will be no federal court trial — not in New York or anywhere else. The terrorists will be tried before a military court in Guantanamo Bay. However, Obama’s false start contributed to the delay.
@powerlineUS Even taking Obama’s folly into account, it’s difficult to understand why the trial won’t take place until the expiration of President Trump’s first term. You can read here about some of the technical issues responsible for this additional delay.
