Holder Jr. failed to consult even with Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano on the matter of bringing KSM and company to New York City for trial, according to testimony Ms. Napolitano gave before the United States Senate.
Consider the lives saved as a result of thwarting just two of KSM's deadlier plots: One was an attack aimed at Heathrow Airport and the other was to have hit a West Coast version of the World Trade Center, likely the Trans America building in San Francisco.
