'I Think He Wants To Be Che Guevara or Something Like That'

Back during the time of the 9/11 Commission we always heard how fair and respected Tom Kean was. We'll see how welcome his words are now.

The decision to bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other alleged Sept. 11 conspirators to New York City for trial will only give the self-professed mastermind of the attacks the platform for "propaganda" that he wants, the chairman of the 9/11 Commission said Tuesday.

Thomas Kean, in his first public comments on the matter, criticized Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to bring the defendants into civilian federal court, saying the trial would help Mohammed fulfill his dreams of martyrdom in the eyes of the Muslim world.

"I worry a little bit about the decision, because it's what Khalid Sheikh Mohammed wants. I mean, he wants a forum," Kean told WNYC radio. "I think he wants to be a martyr, so I think he's going to use the trial as propaganda ... and I think he wants to be Che Guevara or something like that. He's going to try to be a hero to the Muslim world."

Talk about ruffling feathers. Imagine the left's reaction when they see Mohammed compared with their hero Che. Who knows how long until we see "Free KSM" rallies and his image adorning t-shirts?
