Taking risks with terror: Naive U.S. justice system is turning terrorists loose
The "terrorists to the bone" taunting by five Al Qaeda architects of the 9/11 attacks was a painful reminder that more than seven years after the murders of 3,000 Americans, the U.S. has failed abysmally in the application of justice.
Those who committed the unspeakable should no longer have the capacity to speak. They should be dead.
But no. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and his fellow conspirators are shielded by lawyers who charge the government violated civil liberties by disclosing defiant declarations the terrorists themselves filed in court. This is the world turned disgracefully on its head.
We ourselves are to blame. The Bush and Obama administrations, Congress and the courts made prosecuting the blatantly guilty virtually impossible. Instead, we have the paralysis of politics and procedural protections.
Even if it kills us. And it is killing us. It is killing U.S. troops.

Obama to re-brand “enemy combatants”
Dereliction. That's the word I was looking for. It all started with Bill Clinton though:
