Jane Mayer criticizes the decision to not give KSM a trial:
Experts say that the military tribunals’ standards are far higher than they were during the early Bush days, and that K.S.M. is likely to get a fair trial in Guantánamo, too. But regardless of the reality, the forum will always seem tainted by politics, allowing the most heinous terrorist in the world to claim that he is America’s victim, rather than the other way around.
