If you want to understand just one reason why the Obama administration’s decision to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in civilian court is reckless and irresponsible, watch Senator Lindsey Graham grill Attorney General Eric Holder over Miranda rights on Osama bin Laden. Graham is excellent; Holder is not. The attorney general is evasive, unable to offer a coherent rationale for his decision. The closer this decision is examined, the worse it looks. It should cost, and I suspect it will cost, the administration a great deal politically.
