We are so lucky that the circus that is the trial of the terrorist murderer khalid sheik mohammed is down in gitmo...

Is anyone shocked that someone who planned and committed the plot that killed over 3000 people would show no remorse or respect for the proceedings...

According to Lisette (and numerous press reports), the marathon 13-hour arraignment was a bizarre scene, to say the least. How bizarre? Throughout the proceeding, the terrorist suspects engaged in a wide variety of disruptive behaviors, including:

  • Refusing to wear any of the various listening devices provided to each of the accused for the purpose of simultaneously interpreting into Arabic everything said in open court;

  • Refusing to answer the judge's direct questions as to whether the listening devices were actually working, whether the attorneys provided by the U.S. government at no charge on the defendants' behalf were acceptable to them, and whether they understood the nature of the charges being brought against them;

  • Smiling, giggling, gesturing, talking, passing notes and even sharing a magazine among the five accused. Additionally, alleged mastermind KSM - who sat at the front table on the defense's side of the courtroom - used a bold marker to make signs which he hung from a computer screen and microphone at his station in view of his alleged followers sitting directly behind him. The linguists complained that touching the microphone caused static which impaired their ability to hear and interpret the proceedings. They also complained that side conversations further impaired their ability to hear and interpret the proceedings.

  • Abruptly rising to engage in a repetitive stand, bend, kneel pattern of prayer at times not related to any recognized worship obligations.

Fox News Channel's Catherine Herridge, who also observed the arraignment, reportedthat "It was clear right out of the gate that the 9/11 suspects came in with a strategy to frustrate and delay the process." In other words, they were making a statement.
And, at the end of the hearing it got personal. Lisette explains:
The strangest incident may have been a defendant's parting greeting toward a transparent divider at the rear of the courtroom. Beyond the transparent divider sat a handful of the 9/11 victims' surviving family members who had been invited to observe the proceedings in person.
Eddie Bracken, whose sister was killed in the World Trade Center prong of the attack, said at a press conference held the following morning that Binalshibh mocked his sister's death by smiling and giving Bracken a thumbs-up sign the night before. Although a thumbs-up gesture generally means approval or agreement in the United States, in the Middle East the sign is considered a crass insult.
