I’m exceedingly astonished that it required this much time pressure mr Shahzad to admit to his terrorism. I still can’t conceptualize, In reality, I merely was about a quarter of a mile from him. It’s a little worrying to recognise that this sort of terrorist act can be continuing in my own city of Bridgeport. I’m glad that no one was injured in the undertaken bombing, if some of these New Yorkers were not so watchful, this all might have had an entirely somber feeling.

I’m extremely astounded that our legal system required this much time force Mr shahzad to confess to his terrorism. I still can’t conceptualise this happening, In reality, I only lived about three miles from him. It’s a little disturbing to recognise that this kind of terrorism can be occurring in my own town in Bridgeport. I’m just happy that no one was injured in the unsuccessful bombing, if one of these New Yorkers were not so vigilant, that day could have had an totally different note.

[...] for one of the men is saying that they intend to tell their story and why they did what they did. Translation=they are going to use the trial to rant about their political/ religious philosophies and use the bully pulpit of [...]

Dave B: I appreciate the comment and it is very well stated. I agree with you that this is nothing more than an attempt by this administration to juxtapose itself and that of George W. Bush for the world to see and judge as righteous. I have no doubt that this trial will become mired in political rhetoric and will focus more upon the inadequacies of the Bush administration military commissions than the acts which were committed. The only reason why I believe that this case will come to trial find resolution in the five to six year window mentioned above is simply because of the political consequences that President Obama will face if it does not. Let’s look at two scenarios. 1. If he is not re-elected, the next administration will force this case to trial immediately (3 years, maybe 4). 2. If he is unfortunately re-elected, he will be working on his swan song; his legacy legislation in the last two years of his second term and will need a favorable Congress. Finally bringing these men to justice would go a long way to securing Democratic victories in 2014. (5years, maybe 6). Outside of those two motivating factors, I completely agree with you. This thing may not see the court room until long after President Obama has left the White House.

I hope he takes his blanket off his head and shaves the pubic hair on his face by the start of this “Trial”.

NY Litigator: I’m in law enforcement, I’m just a dumb cop, but I can’t resolve the common sense question as to why only SOME of the terrorists qualify because they have certain rights and others don’t. What’s the venue going to be? Egypt? I think you are being conservative saying that it will take six years. I think it will take even more time when all is said and done. Millions of taxpayer dollars that will be needed, our Country being put on trial for waterboarding and other things… just like they wanted, and the needless additional pain the victims and quite frankly all of us will have to go through so they can divert attention on what is actually going on in our country. They see an opportunity to re-hash their old tired excuse and argument about Bush/Cheney/waterboarding so they can contrast themselves in the eyes of the world as being “better” and that’s the best they can do. Although Holder thinks us all “cowards”, he seems to be illustrating that he might be the biggest one of all. This is a disgrace, a travesty, and I can’t wait till 2012.

I appreciate the comment and your insights given your background. I share your frustration as I sincerely believe that these cases would have been resolved in a far more timely manner if they would have been allowed to run their course in the military commission forum rather than beginning anew in the federal courts. Even if they move with great haste, I doubt this matter will be resolved for quite some time.

I would support this if we let them try him on the streets of NYC. What about that proposal Mr. Holder?
