Khalid Sheik Mohammed to be tried at Guantanamo

The mastermind of the 9/11 attacks will not be tried in a civilian court after all.  This is incredibly disappointing news for a variety of reasons.  This is a failure of our entire system of justice.  The horrible crimes committed on 9/11 presented the US with an opportunity to show the world that our system of justice, where the rights of the accused are sacrosanct, and the truth is obtained through a rigorous adversarial process and instead we have done the opposite.
