From http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35168785/ns/...s-security:
"Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is going to meet justice and he's going to meet his maker," said President Barack Obama's press secretary, Robert Gibbs. "He will be brought to justice and he's likely to be executed for the heinous crimes that he committed in killing and masterminding the killing of 3,000 Americans. That you can be sure of."
Sounds exactly like it's going to be a fair trial.
But, of course, if the confession is achieved by the most relentless waterboarding, then the verdict can be spoken by the press secretary ahead of the trial as well.
Just as a reminder for our american friends:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
