I can’t help but note how Leonard Pitts —-appearing in today’s N&R—- undercuts his own argument when defending a civilian trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (emphasis mine):
It’s worth remembering that even the architects of the greatest barbarism in history had their day in court. After burning away 11 million lives, the leaders of the Nazi regime found themselves facing not summary execution, but a trial before a military tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany.
It’s clear that Pitts’ true interest is in putting the evil Bush administration on trial.
Update: In case you missed it: Eric Holder’s ‘Sarah Palin moment.’
