CNN is reporting that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the others are going to plead "not guilty"...we all know what this means.
First, the GOP will begin wielding this around like mistletoe in front of every reporter they can for the holidays and the foreseeable future.
Next, the media will try and convict Eric Holder for the decision to bring KSM to the US. Not to mention their questioning whether the US court system can handle this trial (questions not asked about the other terrorism trials we've held the last several years).
Of course, the talking voice (I'm streaming audio, not video) just asked, "How do we prevent this from becoming a circus?"...well, the answer to that is quite simple. Report on the progress of the trial, and stop fantasizing about what is going to go wrong with the trial.
Anyway, this is short, but breaking, as the piece of shit had previously said he'd plead guilty in Guantanamo if he could be executed and made a martyr.
In the grand scheme of things, this isn't a huge deal. KSM will not be acquitted, as he's admitted guilt (BEFORE he was tortured).
