Also from Gallup this morning:

By 59% to 36%, more Americans believe accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Shzeikh Mohammed should be tried in a military court, rather than in a civilian criminal court. Most Republicans and independents favor holding the trial in a military court, while the slight majority of Democrats disagree.

Gallup also finds 77 percent supporting the death penalty for KSM; 18 percent oppose it. If you can find 18 percent of Americans not willing to execute the greatest mass murderer of Americans alive today, then it doesn’t seem all that impossible to find one in a Manhattan jury pool. We may see a rerun of the Zacarias Moussaoui trial, where one anonymous holdout juror ensured no death penalty would be reached:

“I felt frustrated,” the forewoman said, “because I felt that many of us had been cheated by the anonymity of the ‘no’ voter.
“We will never know their reason. We will never be able to hold their reason up to the light and the scrutiny of evidence, fact, and law,” she told the Post.
She said the discussions among the jury appeared resolutely pro-death penalty, but every time they went to a vote, at least one person would veto the execution.

Recall that KSM already pled guilty and asked for the death penalty in military court.
