I have an op-ed in the New York Daily News this morning on the Obama administration decision to transfer KSM and the other 9/11 jihadists to Manhattan for a civilian trial.  Here's the wrap-up: Our enemies will be given a full-blown civilian trial with ...

Who's Fact Checking the Fact Checkers at AP? -- By: Andy McCarthy

In the Washington Times this morning, there is a AP story (it's not really a report, more an ill-informed supposition) positing that a New York jury might very well spare the 9/11 bombers from the death penalty.  AP reasons that "New York juries are ...

Leahy Proves Graham's Point -- By: Andy McCarthy

In purporting to refute Sen. Lindsey Graham's contention that the Obama administration has turned the war into a legal issue, Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy proved Graham's point.  The Hill reports: "The red herring that my friend ...

How Hard Can AG Holder Have Studied The KSM Question? -- By: Andy McCarthy

Attorney General Holder's exchange with Senator Lindsey Graham yesterday has, quite appropriately, gotten lots of attention.  I want to drill down for a moment, though, on one element of it.  The lawyer's stock in trade is precedent. Whether you're a ...

Can the AG keep his story straight? -- By: Andy McCarthy

FPOD: Not scared of KSM ... and not worried about McCarthy! -- By: Andy McCarthy

SEN. KYL: Let me just close with this point. You said — and this really bothers me, Mr. Attorney General, with all due respect — "For eight years, justice has been delayed for the victims of the 9/11 attacks." I want to put in the record, Mr. Chairman — ...

As usual, Holder undone by Holder -- By: Andy McCarthy

The AG's Distortion of the Opposition to His Decision -- By: Andy McCarthy

Attorney General Holder has several times offered a spirited defense of federal prosecutors — including expressions of confidence that KSM and the other jihadists will be convicted. This is a strawman: There's no reason to defend people who are not ...

Re: Durbin on Moussaoui -- By: Andy McCarthy

A reader notes some facts I should have mentioned:  Moussaoui was arrested in Minnesota at a time when the military commission system did not yet exist. Unlike KSM & Co., he wasn't captured in wartime outside the United States and detained outside the ...
