Actually, I am kind of looking forward to being entertained by this three ring circus that will extend well beyond 2012. The extensive media coverage will overshadow at least some of Obama's perpetual campaigning. If the American media doesn't cover it - you will be able to get plenty of info from foreign sources.
What I really don't "get" is Holder going on about how this will showcase(to the world) America's wonderful, fair system of justice and then saying how confident he is these guys will be found guilty and given the death penalty. Isn't innocent 'till proven guilty part of the American system? Of course, then there's the thing that at least some of them confessed and requested execution. So what's the point of the trials? I know - expose all the evils of the Bush administration. But after they have been out of power for over a year - what's the point of that?
