Huge majority oppose lawfare trials of al Qaeda

AFP:

Almost two-thirds of Americans disagree with the decision by President Barack Obama's administration to try the suspected 9/11 mastermind in a civilian court, a poll showed Monday.

Sixty-four percent of those surveyed said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried in a military court, while only 34 percent agreed with Obama that the civilian judicial system was the best way forward, the CNN poll said.

Seventy-eight percent of those polled said they thought he should be executed if found guilty, almost a quarter of whom said they didn't normally support capital punishment.

I could not find any mention of this poll on the CNN web site as of the time of this posting. That seems strange to me since it covers such a hot topic. I don't think they asked if the move was double dog dumb, but they got the kind of results I would have expected anyway. The Obama administration's return to the failed lawfare policies of the past was a huge mistake and it will become even more evident as they go forward with this flawed policy.
