Here’s why terrorists – including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed – need to be tried by military tribunals instead of civilian courts.
U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour spoke at a recent meeting of the Open Society Institute that was hosted by George Soros. (That sentence alone should tell you that trouble is coming.) Coughenour makes it clear that people with his philosophy are the reason civilian trials won’t work.
Coughenour: Another set of rules – consistent with our Constitution? It’s kind of hard for me to conceive what those rules would be. If people had problems with the way they gathered evidence…if they gathered evidence through harsh interrogation techniques…you know it may be that there will be some people that can’t be convicted because of the way we conducted ourselves. So be it. The world isn’t at a loss for dangerous people, and the fact that we are unable to convict one or more of these folks, it’s part of the price we pay for being the country we are. And we either live up to our responsibilities as being a leader in human rights, and commitment to our Constitution, or we shouldn’t profess to be what we say we are.
Nice work, Attorney General Holder. Really nice work.
