Holder says....

"Congress tied the Obama administration's hands in trying the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and his accomplices, Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday, announcing that he was left without a choice and has referred the cases to the Defense Department for trial." 

"In stark language, Holder lambasted Congress for imposing restrictions blocking any detainees from being tried in the U.S., saying that the "unwise and unwarranted restrictions" undermine the U.S. in counter-intelligence and counter-terror efforts...."

My question is simply this: Why would one want to try a war criminal in civilian courts?  Doesn't make sense to me.  It forces me to assume that there is some dark motive hidden somewhere at Justice.  It's sad when you feel that you can no longer trust your own government, eh?  ;)

In my opinion the trials are going back where they belong, to the Military.

Stay safe.
