Attorney General Eric Holder is defending his decision to try the self-professed September 11th mastermind in New York City.
Holder is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, where lawmakers are likely to spar over his decision to send Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others to New York for a federal trial.
In his opening statement, Holder urges people not to be afraid of the prospects of having the trial in New York, because he says he has confidence the world will see Mohammed for the, “coward he is.”
Critics argue the trial will give Mohammed a stage to speak hateful words about democracy. Holder says concerns are misplaced, because judges can control unruly defendants.
