Well articulated but I disagree about the part about prosecuting terrorists in our courts. I do not believe that any "sounding board" would result in sympathy for the terrorists or their cause. I think New Yorkers have a right to prosecute these scumbags. Yes, they are the most despicable mass murderers in history. They should be tried in the same manner as Manson, Gacy, Dahmer, etc.

Thanks Aaron. I think we agree in on some but not all points here. NYers need the benefits of the tools to do the job efficiency and effective. Want there struggling states budget does not need is a circus (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed changed his plea to innocent) or to give this guy a sounding board which will certainly be available courtesy of all media. Perhaps this guy will want to terrify others by taking a stand. Eric Holder can even find the stare decisis on this move.

I saw an analysis of Holder's body language a few weeks ago after the initial question (which he surely expected) and as you can see his pause in response, defensive arms, look down, and stutter all show that he might not even agree with the testimony he is about to give. My observation is that Holder thinks differently but his hand was forced to make this decision.
