A major liberal criminal defense lawyer changes his mind on treating terrorists like bank robbers.
The argument is familiar enough, but it’s interesting that it’s winning converts. I still think the least discussed aspect of this farce is the damage it might do to our courts and system of justice, not to the war on terror. When the president and attorney general all but guarantee the outcome of the case and dismiss concerns about how evidence was gathered, you’re describing a show trial, not a criminal trial.
