Holder Defends Civilian Trials For Terrorists

The Huffington Post reports:

Despite numerous setbacks over the past 2 1/2 years, Attorney General Eric Holder defiantly defended the civilian court system as a venue for trying high-profile terrorist suspects during a speech Thursday night.

In a keynote address at the American Constitution Society Convention, Holder reiterated his preference for the American criminal justice system over a military tribunal alternative, calling the former a tried and tested venue for prosecuting terrorism-related cases.
