- | There are some of these defendants | 0:00 |
who because of who they are | 0:02 | |
and who they're associated with | 0:04 | |
the risk of sitting in judgment of them is profound. Right? | 0:07 | |
So if you imagine we bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed | 0:12 | |
to a federal court, and I'm a juror on that case, | 0:14 | |
I think what's going to go through my mind is that | 0:18 | |
when I convict him, I am going to be marked for life | 0:22 | |
as one of the jurors who convicted this person. | 0:27 | |
And in that sense, I think there's some merit | 0:32 | |
to the argument that one of the mission, | 0:35 | |
the primary mission of the military | 0:37 | |
is to accept risk on behalf of the nation. | 0:39 | |
That's what we do, right? | 0:42 | |
So, the, I think there's some merit | 0:44 | |
in the argument that one plausible basis for | 0:46 | |
using a military tribunal for these offenses | 0:50 | |
is because the people we're trying | 0:53 | |
are going to create a risk | 0:55 | |
for the people in the process for forever. | 0:57 |
