Give us the facts, not just accusations
This is meant for Charles Krauthammer regarding his column, "Absurdity marks thinking behind a civilian trial."
The brunt of your editorial of Nov. 23 was directed toward Eric Holder's ineptitude. Then down at the bottom of the article is one sentence that mentions Obama "blocked a process" that would yield certain justice.
That sentence hints that Obama is the force behind this civilian trial and Holder is his pawn. If that was your intent, just say it. It's hard to get behind vague assertions of who's-to-blame in such a hot-button topic.
If Obama set up this first-ever civilian trial of a military terrorist, some big explanation of why he did it needs to be presented to the American public.
