Well, if appears that the Radical Left, the Radical Muslims, and fellow traveler, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, are not going to be able to put on a “really big shoe” (as Ed Sullivan used to say).

Per foxnews.com, Khalid Sheik Muhammed, who has been incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006, after being captured in Pakistan in 2003, and four alleged Sept. 11 co-conspirators, will face prosecution by a military commission in Guantanamo, instead of being the star attractions in an “Ain’t America Awful” series of show trials in New York City.

Attorney General Holder made the announcement today, purely disgusted that he could not put the city of New York in peril and put America on Trial at the same time.

Holder, determined not to acknowledge the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans did not want to try Muslim Terrorists in New York City in the first place, blamed Congress for tying the Obama administration’s hands in trying the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and his accomplices.  AG Holder was noticably upset as he announced that he was left without a choice.

Holder blasted Congress for blocking any detainees from being tried in the U.S.  He claimed that the “unwise and unwarranted restrictions” placed on trying the Terrorists by Congress undermine the U.S. in counter-intelligence and counter-terror efforts.

Seemingly on the verge of either a meltdown or tears, Holder said that as a native New Yorker, he knows as well as anyone the federal court’s capacity to try the suspects. He then said that he’s intimately familiar with the cases, much moreso than congressional members, or the public, who opposed allowing the cases to be held in the United States.

Well, he should be, because he’s the Attorney General.  But, then again, he’s very familiar with Muslim Terroists in general.

As I reported in my post Holder:  Failure is Not an Option:

…from 2001 until he became Attorney General, Holder worked in private practice for the prestigious law firm of Covington and Burling.  Researching his time there is quite illuminating.  Can you say Conflict of Interest?

In her best-seller, Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin wrote:

One wonders what the Obamas would say about Holder’s lucrative work for Chiquita Brands International if it had been performed by, say, John McCain’s top lawyer? As chief counsel for the global company, Holder won a “slap-on-the-wrist plea deal to charges that it had paid off” Colombian paramilitary death squads. Liberal critics of Holder point out that he used his influence as a former Clinton Justice Department official to negotiate a sweetheart deal for Chiquita.

…Putting on the best terrorist defense is a Covington & Burling specialty. Among the firm’s other celebrity terrorist clients: 17 Yemenis held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. The law firm employed dozens of radical attorneys such as David Remes and Marc Falkoff to provide the enemy combatants with more than 3,000 hours of pro bono representation. Covington & Burling co-authored one of three petitioners’ briefs filed in the Boumediene v. Bush detainee case, and secured victories for several other Gitmo enemy combatants in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Falkoff went on to publish a book of poetry, Poems from Guantanamo: The Detainees Speak, which he dedicated to the suspected terrorists: “For my friends inside the wire, Mahmoad, Majid, Yasein, Saeed, Abdulsalam, Mohammed, Adnan, Jamal, Othman, Adil, Mohamed, Abdulmalik, Areef, Adeq, Farouk, Salman, and Makhtar. Inshallah, we will next meet over coffee in your homes in Yemen.”

But, hey, that’s not the reason.  It’s because he’s so much smarter that everybody else.  Just ask the AG:

Do I know better than them? Yes. I respect their ability to disagree but they should respect that this is an executive branch function, a unique executive branch function.

Prosecutors from both the Departments of Defense and Justice have been working together since the beginning of this matter, and I have full faith and confidence in the military commission system to appropriately handle this case as it proceeds.

KSM’s co-conspirators are Walid Muhammed Salih Mubarak Bin Attash, Ramzi Bin Al Shibh, Ali Abdul-Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed Al Hawsawi. The five Muslim Terrorists are accused of killing 2,976 people, all named in an 81-page indictment dismissed which was unsealed Monday by a federal judge.

The order to dismiss signed by U.S. District Judge Kevin Duffy reads:

Because a timely prosecution in federal court does not appear feasible, the attorney general intends to refer this matter to the Department of Defense to proceed in military commissions.

So, there you have it.  AG Holder and his boss, Scooter, were foiled in their plans to put America on trial in front of the world, in the very city that experienced the worst Terrorist attack on American soil.

Their planned Dog and Pony show, not only was a horrible idea, it was a degradation….a dragging-though-the-mud of our nation and the horrific images and memories that remained seared in our minds to this day.

Obama and Holder ought to be be ashamed for even proposing such a crass idea.

But, they aren’t…and more’s the pity.
