Jim Webb (D-VA), John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsay Graham (R-SC), and Joe Lieberman (I-D - CT) have penned a letter to the President in an attempt to dissuade him from trying Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, in the United States. Hopefully, this won't be necessary, as commons sense dictates that what he did was an act of war and should be handled by the military as such, but just in case the ACLU and the like try to strong-arm the left wing of the White House:
“We write to you today to express our concern over reports that your Administration may prosecute Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11 terrorist attacks, and other alleged war criminals in civilian courts in Virginia, New York, and the District of Columbia. Such trials would treat the war on terrorism as a law enforcement operation, rather than a war, and would treat its alleged perpetrators as common criminals, instead of violators of the law of war."
