Yesterday began the war court trial of the Khalid Sheik Mohammed and the co-consiparators for the terror attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. This was a marathon session by anyone’s standards that started at 9:23 AM and lasted till 10:28 PM with a few breaks for throughout. The news from this arraignment is that the alleged conspirators remained silent throughout in a protest of the proceedings. No plea was entered and the next hearing is scheduled for June 12th.
