They Made Us a Nation of Bedwetters

I don’t know anyone who is avidly anticipating or who plans to avidly follow the sham-trial of the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Comparing it to the O.J. Simpson trial is a sad joke. The sad truth is that the man most responsible for the carnage of 9/11 would probably walk free if given a fair trial because Dick Cheney and George W. Bush decided to torture him and tainted the evidence against him. Since we are understandably unwilling to just let him go, he will be given a fake trial instead and then he will be condemned to death. Very few people will mourn his passing, but his life is not what we should be mourning. We should be mourning the legitimacy of our system of justice.
