Arizona Senator Asks Attorney General Why He Chose To Prosecute 9/11 Mastermind In Federal Court
Senator Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) asks Attorney General Eric Holder during Senate Judiciary Committee hearing why he would choose to prosecute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, in a federal court if Mohammed said he would plead guilty and ask for an execution in military court. The question is met with scattered applause from the hearing’s audience. (0:21)
