Cowards on the Right
Glenn Greenwald hits the nail on the head, with his comments about the right's panic at the idea of bringing Khalid Sheik Muhammad to New York for his trial:
"As always, the Right's tough-guy leaders wallow in a combination of pitiful fear and cynical manipulation of the fear of their followers. Indeed, it's hard to find any group of people on the globe who exude this sort of weakness and fear more than the American Right.
It is, however, noteworthy that the position they advocate -- it's too scary to have normal trials in our country of Terrorists -- is as pure a surrender to the Terrorists as it gets."
Not much more to say, is there?
