Mike Lupica wrote a well-reasoned article in today's New York Daily News contending that Khalid Sheik Mohammed should not be tried in New York City.
Then, near the end of Mike's article, came the following sentence:
"But Mohammed isn't going to get off if he gets tried on the moon, or by a military tribunal; he's going to be convicted whether he defends himself or not."
Now, on that point, Mike, I couldn't agree with you more.

Well, let's hope it is true. But there is a real chance that his punishment might get somehow milder because of some legal technicalities, for example violation of his right to the speedy trial or inadmissibility of evidence gained through the torture. There is also the Miranda rights, which might be questioned. I guess we just have to wait and see. Elli
Yes, Elli. We'll have to wait and see.
But it's highly doubtful that Khalid will get anything less than the maximum penalty.
Yes and we can let him appeal for another 20 years to continue the circus.
Sounds good to me, HOTR. That will give us something else to talk about for the next 20 years.
