HOLDER ABETTING TERROR? Atty General May Have Legal Track Record With Al Qaeda (Rene Sandler is in Eastern Time)
The issue about Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 terror suspects in a federal courthouse instead of a military tribunal has taken another twist.
While most Americans wrestle with Holder’s unconscionable will to afford these men Constitutional rights under the very nation that Islamic extremism seeks to destroy, reports have surfaced about his possible ties to the Christmas Day “pants bomber.”
Holder’s former law firm, Covington & Burling, represented a number of Yemeni prisoners currently at or released from the U.S. Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Now, there is an investigation into whether or not some of those men were al Qaeda members, including the masterminds behind Umar Abdulmutullab’s failed pants-bomb attempt aboard a Detroit-bound airliner.
Available to provide an authoritative and insightful legal perspective on this otherwise largely political debate is high-profile criminal attorney, Rene Sandler.
In addition to offering an extremely knowledgeable commentary on Holder’s thinking and motives behind his decisions, Sandler can also project on the upcoming 9/11 trial—its possible path, outcome and effect on New Yorkers, the nation and the law going forward.
Further, Sandler can thoroughly explore the legal and procedural differences between a U.S. criminal court and a military tribunal, and explain how those differences apply to a trial like the 9/11 case that will undoubtedly captivate the country.
