So, you admit you’re a terrorist Dave. Well, they say insight is the first step to improvement.

“So Dave3xz you don’t want any of the accused to have their day in court”

I want them tried in the same court Daniel Pearl, and others like him, were tried in.

So Dave3xz you don’t want any of the accused to have their day in court. Now why would that be? If you’re concerned about the truth about 9/11 coming out, don’t worry. There’s virtually no chance any element of the truth will come out in this trial. But I agree with you to some extent, it’s risky. Some facts could accidentally leak out and that would just be horrifying.

scotttpot…

Every country, large or small, needs an enemy——that’s just the way it is.  The US has chosen al Qaeda as the face of the enemy and as you say al Qaeda is a small group with minimal resources who got lucky on 9-11 basically through the ineptness of US intelligence.  The real enemy is militant Islamists whose titular head is the Muslim Brotherhood——they have political power in specific countries which may be a threat to others.

Admiral Yamamoto who led the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor deserved more
respect than the sinister Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. Yamamoto proudly wore his
uniform while Khalid snuck through the back alleys of the Casbah in Disguise. It
will be up to a jury to find if Khalid is a genuine terrorist or a criminally insane
lunatic. The verdict will depend on if he is executed or medicated.

The military grade explosives.  Remember the fireman who said, “There were explosions everywhere, boom boom boom boom boom?”  The Project For A New America containing the Pearl Harbor imperative.  What about Cheney in the White House bunker that morning giving stand down orders as the planes approached Manhattan combined with the war games occuring in the northeast called, “Hijacked Airlines.”  The myriad of physicists that collected military grade thermite and thermate from ground zero?  What about World Trade Tower 7 that is known to have been planted with explosives and purposely demolished?  What about the Bush financial ties to the Bin Laden clan and the Royal Saud family? et al.

We will learn from the trial that KSM and a small group of followers are
the people responsible for 9/11 and the War on Terror is a scam cooked up by the
Military/Security/Industrial/Media complex.

Things have been a bit dull in the city.  The only thing of significance would have been the tree lighting in Rockefeller Center, but now they’ll have a never-ending circus with the trial of the century (so far).  Why even Ray Kelly couldn’t stop salivating over himself with the prospect of a massive police presence whether needed or not.  But someone should photo-shop that picture of KSM——he needs a make-over.

It’s too early to tell, of course, but it may actually be difficult to get a guilty verdict against KSM. Why? Because most of the “evidence” against him was procured by torture, which makes it inadmissible.

This assumes, of course, that the trial is an actual trial, and not a star chamber. These days in the USA, those in power find ways of making things fit.

This clown has had his constitutional rights completely disregarded because his captors thought he was a POW.  When a persons rights have been completely disregarded, they walk in a criminal trial.  Period.  Nothing more to say.  They walk.

Just send him home and save a ton of money that would be spent on his trial.  I do not want to see him on television every day for the next ten years while we tear our hearts out watching the circus.

Send him home now!  Or give him the same treatment that was given to Daniel Pearl.  Either one, but no trial.

The “trial” will be a sham.  The US has no standing, no legitimacy prosecuting victims of its own torture chambers.  These trials should be held in some neutral country, perhaps by the World Court and the Court must have subpoena powers and the ability to punish perjury.  Any confessions by the accused must be thrown out as suspect.  The supposed upcoming closure of Gitmo (and who will the rogue hyper-power allow in to check?) notwithstanding, the kangaroo-court trial of the handful of torture victims still there, does not put an end to the abominable Bush policy Obama has yet to forswear.  The renditions continue to other locales, neither the imprisonments nor the gestapo tactics cease.  Pentagon spending is at an all-time high.  While the notion of economic “trickle-down” is nonsense, the trickle-down effect of the corruption wherein the powerful are unaccountable is a real and present danger, and if ever there was one, to our national security in the most meaningful sense.  But, Edward Herman explains, “The propaganda system allows the U.S. leadership to commit crimes without limit and with no suggestion of misbehavior or criminality; in fact, major war criminals like Henry Kissinger appear regularly on TV to comment on the crimes of the derivative butchers.” Mr Herman also found, after extensive study, that “... the United States has given frequent and enthusiastic support to the overthrow of democracy in favor of “investor friendly” regimes. The World Bank, IMF, and private banks have consistently lavished huge sums on terror regimes, following their displacement of democratic governments, and a number of quantitative studies have shown a systematic positive relationship between U.S. and IMF / World Bank aid to countries and their violations of human rights.”  There is one and only one sure way to reduce the amount of terrorism in this world, and that is for the biggest sponsor of state-supported terrorism, the US, to stop participating in it.
“The principal power in Washington is no longer the government or the people it represents. It is the Money Power. Under the deceptive cloak of campaign contributions, access and influence, votes and amendments are bought and sold. Money establishes priorities of action, holds down federal revenues, revises federal legislation, shifts income from the middle class to the very rich. Money restrains the enforcement of laws written to protect the country from abuses of wealth - laws that mandate environmental protection, antitrust laws, laws to protect the consumer against fraud, laws that safeguard the securities markets, and many more.”
(Richard N. Goodwin)
“This war [in Iraq], should it come, is intended to mark the official emergence of the United States as a full-fledged global empire, seizing sole responsibility and authority as planetary policeman. It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the “American imperialists” that our enemies always claimed we were.”
(Columnist Jay Bookman of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, September 29, 2002)
“Evenhanded use of the “terrorist” label would mean sometimes affixing it directly on the U.S. government. During the past decade, from Iraq to Sudan to Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan, Pentagon missiles have destroyed the lives of civilians just as innocent as those who perished on September 11, 2001. If journalists dare not call that “terrorism,” then maybe the word should be retired from the media lexicon.”
(Norman Solomon)

Can you say “Fall Guy”. 

This is more like it.

Can anyone get a fair trial in re Sept.11 or anything related?  (And I surely think it’s better to have a federal civilian trial than a military phony baloney trial.  See Glenn Greenwald’s comments in his column,
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald (I hope. Google if I
messed up.)  I remember Lynne Stewart’s trial.  The judge allowed a video of Sadam Hussein to be shown and told the jury to disregard it in their deliberation!
