My dad once said, “Everything you do affects someone else.”
With that, by President Obama directing the Just-Us Department to try Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in an American court of law instead of a military tribunal, should twelve people find him guilty, it may be very hard for them to buy life insurance policies.
Wanted: 12 New Yorkers willing to put their lives on hold – and maybe on the line – to try the mastermind behind the biggest crime in U.S. history.
The jury ultimately chosen to hear the case against confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed will face months of heart-wrenching testimony amid air-tight security.
Unlike the O.J. jury where there was a not-guilty verdict, there may be no book deal takers, the lawyers (and their daughters) won’t become household names, and the media will be speculating how one lives with fatwas hanging over their heads.
Something for the administration to ponder as their decision will directly and adversely affect the lives of “ordinary people”.
