Holder has now stated that he’s convinced the upcoming trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will find him guilty—but if the jury disagrees, the administration is willing to keep holding him indefinitely.
That’s just all kinds of wrong. The whole point of a trial is that if we find someone not guilty, he goes free, not that the government can turn around and hold them anyway.
I fully realize some of the information against Mohammed may be torture-based and therefore inadmissible. Too bad, so sad.
And I realize if he did get off and won his freedom, Obama would be pilloried mercilessly by the right. But so what? He’s already being pilloried for giving him any sort of trial; the people who think he’s the socialist agent of Satan, love child of Malcom X and Muslim sleeper agent aren’t going to vote for him no matter what he does.
And quite simply, this ain’t the way America’s supposed to roll.
