What's behind this unnecessary insanity? "Civilian federal court??"

Gitmo 9/11 suspects heading to NY trial By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court, and five other suspects will be sent to military commissions, an Obama administration official said Friday.
... Without confirming details of the decision, President Barack Obama said it was a legal and national security matter. "I am absolutely convinced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be subjected to the most exacting demands of justice," ... ****This validates KSM's jibe at the time of capture to the effect that he'd only talk to his lawyer when he gets to New York. His confessions, of course, will not be admissible since they were coerced. Details of his interrogations will become public and the world press will have another Abu Graib as well as revelations about techniques used to apprehend him. In a week when the politically-correct approach to Islamoterrorism has been unequivocally shown to be folly, why Obama is doing this seems to have only one explanation. As he would say, "BECAUSE I CAN." His whole Presidency so far has been a succession of ipse dixits which the rest of us are supposed to bear because he can.****
