Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Gitmo detainees trials in New York

9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Gitmo detainees will be sent to of all places New York to face trial in a civilian federal court, an Obama administration official told the Associated Press. Eric Holder claims we are charging them witht he most serious offensives “WE FIND APPROPRIATE”. Obama’s muslim faith is yet again on full display! Senator James Webb (Democrat) isn’t exactly thrilled with the idea either.

Self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court, an Obama administration official said Friday.

The official said Attorney General Eric Holder plans to announce the decision later in the morning.

The official is not authorized to discuss the decision before the announcement, so spoke on condition of anonymity.

Bringing such notorious suspects to U.S. soil to face trial is a key step in President Barack Obama’s plan to close the terror suspect detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Obama initially planned to close the detention center by Jan. 22, but the administration is no longer expected to meet that deadline.

It is also a major legal and political test of Obama’s overall approach to terrorism. If the case suffers legal setbacks, the administration will face second-guessing from those who never wanted it in a civilian courtroom. And if lawmakers get upset about notorious terrorists being brought to their home regions, they may fight back against other parts of Obama’s agenda.

The New York case may also force the court system to confront a host of difficult legal issues surrounding counter-terrorism programs begun after the 2001 attacks, including the harsh interrogation techniques once used on some of the suspects while in CIA custody. The most severe method — waterboarding, or simulated drowning — was used on Mohammed 183 times in 2003, before the practice was banned.

Oh, BTW, have you seen the “updated” version of KSM?
