The handling of KSM has been pure amateurish. Vancouver is thataway boys. Obama and Holder remind me of an old Laurel & Hardy routine. They come off as a couple of clueless figures. Frick and Frack.
President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have no one but themselves to blame for the mess that's become of the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) trial. They waited too long between the November announcement that he would be tried in federal civilian court in Lower Manhattan and any concrete action taken toward that end. The continuing and still-unexplained delay--no indictment, no initial hearing, no nothing in public--precluded veteran judges and prosecutors from the opportunity to reassure the nation that a KSM proceeding near Ground Zero would not in fact be a zoo. And it allowed time for the trial's detractors to mobilize the agents of fear and loathing. The result is chaos. And inaction. And an apparent lack of will. In short, an example of all of the larger criticisms the Obama White House has received over the past few months.
Oh, come now Mr. Cohen. Why bother? It's all Bush's fault anyway, right?
Obama lays down the plank, Holder walks over it but crashes down on him and into a pool of cement. Max Roach would have been proud.
