Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Trial: 9/11 Mastermind Back Before Guantanamo Bay Judge

Earlier Saturday, Mohammed cast off his earphones providing Arabic translations of the proceeding and refused to answer Army Col. James Pohl's questions or acknowledge he understood them. All five men refused to participate in the hearing; two passed around a copy of The Economist magazine and leafed through the articles.

Cheryl Bormann, a civilian attorney for bin Attash, appeared in a conservative Islamic outfit that left only her face uncovered and she asked the court to order other women present to wear "appropriate" clothing so that defendants do not have to avert their eyes "for fear of committing a sin under their faith."

I don't give a damn about their religion. I am usually one for Human Rights... but this... They are accused of the masterminding the murder of almost 3000 people. It's a Military proceeding. Muzzle them and shackle them or try the case with them in their cells. They aren't cooperating anyway. What's the point of them being there?

Edit: And I'd show up in a damned string bikini....
