KSM in New York City: The Show Trial of the Century By Rizzuto Mon Nov 16, 2009 - I’m tired of hearing leftists, including the latest from Rep. Jim Moran , claim that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s civilian trial is in line with America’s traditions. If KSM’s civilian trial is the tradition of America, then I would have no hesitation in saying that America is not a nation worth defending. Fortunately, as anyone with even the slightest understanding of the law knows, this trial has nothing to do with tradition, or the American justice system as a whole. What will occur in New York City will be the antithesis of the American tradition as it will be, by political necessity, a show trial. Our government has more or less assured the American people a guilty verdict. Anything short of that would be a political disaster for the current administration, as they must have known when making their decision. If this was going to be a truly honest civilian trial, it would be tossed out of court for dozens upon dozens of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that KSM received absolutely no due process and can’t possibly hope to have an unbiased jury in New York City. Those who are pretending that this will be anything but theater are being dishonest, as Criminal Law 101 tells them otherwise. What Eric Holder and Barack Obama, two lawyers I might add, are doing is an absolute miscarriage of justice and an abuse of the American justice system, not a tribute to it. This is by no means a defense of KSM. To the contrary, it is a defense of the American Justice system to acknowledge that what is going to occur in New York City in no way resembles justice. Trials like this are more at home in Myanmar and are so clearly un-American that their defenders should be ashamed of themselves.
