I am dismayed at the power exercised by AG Eric Holder in the matter regarding the upcoming trial of KSM. I watched the senate inquiry of the AG and the questions posed regarding this trial. My dismay is that not only were the questions fair but they were proposed by senators from both sides of the aisle. However weak the liberal side is, they at least posed questions. The answers given by Holder were uninspired and without either passion not conviction. They were rote and scripted.....as if pulled from a distant college lecture.
How does a man arrive at such limited, whimsical and breezy positions.....and be allowed to persist in them without challenge?? When finally asked by Sen. Graham about the precendent used to arrive at a position of offering full court protections and techniques to KSM, there was massive "political speak" given. Sadly, the more he spoke, he deeper the hole of confusion became as to....why was a war terrorist allowed criminal court rights?
Such a trial has never occurred in the history of the United States and Graham stated that fact. Holder just looked bored and uncaring. Holder's response? "I have determined...." Why is a cabinet official allowed to determine on his own to set the precedents affecting American court proceedings? Where is the challenge?
I am dismayed and puzzled as to why the law minds of our nation can't or choose not to....challenge this?
