Let's all dread/anticipate the upcoming Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial, wherever it is held

You know, the one that will prove you can have a show trial even if the defendants are guilty.

Why bother with a trial? Just call out the firing squad. Here's Obama Press secretary Robert Gibbs today:

"Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is going to meet justice and he’s going to meet his maker," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told John King on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday morning. "He's likely to be executed for the heinous crimes he committed," he added.

Marine Col. Jeffrey Colwell, acting chief defense counsel at the Defense Department's Office of Military Commissions, said it would be a "sad day for the rule of law" if Obama decides not to proceed with a federal trial. "I thought the decision where to put people on trial -- whether federal court or military commissions -- was based on what was right, not what is politically advantageous," Colwell said.

("that's what you thought? lol on u!")

srsly tho, this dude has a career in stuff

For years, Democrats have failed to grasp the fact that they are perceived as "weak" not because of any specific policies, but because they are perceived -- rightly -- to believe in nothing. It is hard to imagine any act that could more strongly bolster that perception than to watch Barack Obama -- yet again -- scamper away from his own claimed principles all because the GOP is saying some mean things about him.

Yeah, this! May actually break the habit of a lifetime and send an email to whitehouse.gov because in America, we are inherently supposed to extend the rule of law to people we don't like, however inconvenient it may be to do so.

"You know, the one that will prove you can have a show trial even if the defendants are guilty."

Please spare me. Even I could get a conviction here.
