Publicity for Terrorists

Or as Eric Holder calls it, trials in NYC. Powerline has a post on it.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his confederates are gearing up for a media spectacle:

A lawyer for one of five men facing trial for the Sept. 11 attacks says the men plan to plead not guilty and use the trial to express their political views.

Attorney Scott Fenstermaker says his client Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and the others will not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but will tell the jury "why they did it." He says the men will explain "their assessment of American foreign policy."

Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay. He says the men, including professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, have discussed the trial among themselves.

Yes, I'll bet they have. Eric Holder's decision to give them a jury trial must have seemed like a gift from Allah.

Scott Fenstermaker is a criminal defense lawyer from New York who has represented a number of Guantanamo Bay detainees.
