In this op-ed piece from Ed Morrissey on Obama's criminal trials for admitted terrorists, he asks some very legitimate questions that have the potential for some disastrous outcomes:
"What happens if the judge throws out key evidence over nitpicky technicalities? What happens if KSM and others get found not guilty because of gaps in the evidence chain resulting from national-security issues or “evidentiary issues”? Will Obama let them walk away? If that happens, look for a massive amount of anger to overwhelm the naive Commander in Chief. And if Obama isn’t prepared to let them walk after a potential acquittal, then it makes a mockery of the criminal trial, and of the justice system itself. These terrorists belong at a military tribunal, not the justice system employed for Americans to judge other Americans for civil criminal conduct. Instead of giving these men the oblivion they deserve, we’re incentivizing further attacks on the US by giving them the biggest possible PR platform. We may as well put them on TV and call it Dancing With the Terrorists, or So You Want To Be A Jihadist Martyr."
Someone might say that there's absolutely no possibility that our "commander" in chief hasn't already thought about these things, and it's scary if he hasn't. Even scarier is the thought that he has.
