"Let's Roll.... Over."

The father of Todd "Let's Roll" Beamer attended the Senate hearings on Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to try KSM in a civilian court.

He was impressed, but not favorably.
The committee, chaired by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.), displayed the division in our country not only visually—the Democrats were seated on the left and the Republicans on the right—but in every aspect of the proceedings. I expected that some members would agree with Mr. Holder and that others would have challenging questions about his decision. What I did not anticipate was the level of partisanship showed by the majority party. It seemed clear to me and other family members of victims that party loyalty is trumping concern for America's security interests.
