WASHINGTON (AP) - When it comes to prosecuting 9/11 suspects in
federal court in New York, Attorney General Eric Holder says,
"Failure is not an option."
He was asked at a Senate hearing today what might happen if
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (HAH'-leed shayk moh-HAH'-med) and the
others are acquitted.
Holder said, "These are cases that have to be won" -- and that
he's not expecting any other result.
He's being questioned by members of the Senate Judiciary
Committee about his decision last week to send Mohammed and four
alleged henchmen from a detention center at Guantanamo Bay to New
York to face a civilian federal trial.
Reaction to the planned trial has fallen along mostly partisan
lines.
