Attorney General Eric Holder is, I think, absolutely right in his decision to try the 9/11 defendants in civil court, in New York where the attack took police. Free, fair and open trials are part of what we're all about. Military tribunals, secret or semi-secret, with restrictions on what can be reported or what evidence can be introduced, are not.
I want a jury of regular Americans, like us, and I have no doubt they will arrive at a just verdict. It will be more expensive than a military hearing--lots of security, and all that. It will be worth it.
Short column, huh? But a true one, don't you think?
