They don't even give trials for American citizens abroad. Seems unlikely they'd do it for terrorist #1.

- jMyles 11y agoThey're trying KSH - why not?
- ghurtado 11y agoI'm assuming you mean KSM (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed). I think it could be strategically valuable to be able to parade pictures of your former enemy looking like this: http://usofarn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Khalid-Sheikh-Mohammed+.jpg http://usofarn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Khalid-Sheikh-... . It would have been awesome if we could have done the same with Bin Laden.
- jMyles 11y agoI don't know how my fingers wrote "H" for Mohammed, but yes, of course. :-) I'm not sure I agree that it's strategically valuable - in an asymmetrical engagement, it seems like this just provokes sympathy and stokes recruitment. Treating him (both of them, in fact) with dignity, respect, and an honest public trial including an accounting of their crimes might help, though.
