Alex Whalen does a great job collecting the thoughts of those across the web reacting to the news that the 9/11 plotters will face trial in NYC, and the fear-mongering the American Right thrives off of.
They're deranged men. That's all. They can't psychically attack us, they can't warp their metal cell bars with their minds, they don't have super-strength, they can't fly. If nothing else, they have an even weaker power of reasoning than we think because they believe the conspiratorial lies propagated to them to brainwash them into hating the United States and all those who don't agree with their perverted version of a beautiful, peaceful Islam. KSM is no bigger or better a man than Timothy McVeigh, the Virginia Tech killer, Nadil Malik Hasan, or Charles Manson.
Killing is a sign of weakness, not strength. KSM is a murderer. He should be forced to face what he's done. If he has no remorse, then fine - lock him away and let him be forgotten in the annals of time. But we are Americans, and we should act and represent what is good and orderly in this world. This man represents is Chaos, and there is nothing solid in Chaos but fear. If people want to be afraid of him, it is their right. But it is they who have let this terrorist win.
