Other View: Terrorist trials a hate pulpit

The five terrorists who will be put on trial in an American courtroom plan to use the event to spread their virulent views, one of their attorneys admits. ...

The terrorists' plot to use the unwarranted mouthpiece of an American courtroom to spread their bile is so patently obvious that you have to ask: Is it just what the Obama administration wants?

Does the Obama administration have that dim a view of America and how it has protected itself against Islamic terrorists that it wants to give five of them a soapbox? Do they hate the Bush-Cheney team so much that they're willing to use terror trials and terrorists to indict the former administration in a public courtroom? ...

It's as if the president of the United States and his attorney general, Eric Holder, were sympathetic to the terrorists' cause and want to give them a pulpit from which to attack America.
