Terror trial truth-telling: Rallying to keep 9/11 killers out of civilian courts: "The fight to persuade President Obama to forget about trying the 9/11 masterminds in federal court takes to the street today with a rally in Foley Square.
Led by Debra Burlingame, sister of Charles (Chic) Burlingame, who died piloting American Airlines Flight 77, protesters will begin the arduous, vital work of building political support for a presidential change of mind.
Many of the participants lost loved ones in the terror attack. May their voices be heard, because the case against putting Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four accomplices in a civilian dock grows ever stronger.
Consider, for example, what's happening in the case of Ahmed Ghailani, the first Guantanamo detainee sent to the U.S. for civilian prosecution.
Accused of helping to plot the 1998 attacks on American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Ghailani was indicted before 9/11 but captured after the atrocity. He has been in Guantanamo ever since."
