The debate over whether or not the 9/11 plotter should be given a criminal or military trial, and where it should be located, has dominated political news. John Wohlstetter says of the controversy, "Keeping the trial in criminal court continues a mistaken preference for trying certain terror cases in civilian courts. Convictions notwithstanding, such trials carry greater risk of the prosecution losing, entail balancing use of evidence versus intelligence secrecy, and confer more rights upon unlawful combatants today than lawful combatants had in prior wars."
John Wohlstetter is an expert in National Security and Terrorism. He is a senior fellow at Discovery Institute, and the author of "The Long War Ahead and the Short War Upon Us." Wohlstetter is the founder and editor of the blog "Letter from the Capitol."
