From the Sunday New York Times :

"Mr. [Khalid Shaikh] Mohammed met his captors at first with cocky defiance, telling one veteran C.I.A. officer, a former Pakistan station chief, that he would talk only when he got to New York and was assigned a lawyer — the experience of his nephew and partner in terrorism, Ramzi Yousef, after Mr. Yousef’s arrest in 1995."

KSM assumed it was still 9/10.  It wasn't.  But with the Supreme Court's ruling Boumediene, granting Habeas Corpus to terrorists, we are back the way KSM thought it should be--lawyers and all.

Presumeably, Zawahiri, bin Laden et.al., would be able to lawyer up and demand the full effect of Federal Criminal procedure. 

The global war on terror is over.  Welcome back to the criminal investigation of terror.

I think we all remember how effective that was.
