Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,

Washington-President Barack ObamaBarack ObamaBarack ObamaBarack ObamaBarack ObamaBarack Obama predicted that the alleged mastermind of the terrorist attacks of September 11 Khalid Sheikh MohammedKhalid Sheikh MohammedKhalid Sheikh MohammedKhalid Sheikh MohammedKhalid Sheikh MohammedKhalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be convicted and executed, and his attorney Eric HolderEric HolderEric HolderEric HolderEric HolderEric Holder proclaimed that "failure is not an alternative."
In a series of television interviews granted during his Asian trip, Obama said he's offended by the legal privileges granted to Mohammed to be tried in civil court rather than a military one, "not find it offensive when convicted and when I is imposed the death penalty. "

Obama said he did not intend to suggest that He prejudged the outcome of the trial of Mohammed. "I will not be in that court," he said. "That is the task of prosecutors, judges and jury."

In interviews released Wednesday by the television channels NBC and CNN, the president said that experienced prosecutors specializing in terrorism and have ensured that "condemn this person with the evidence they have, through our judicial system."

Obama said the American public should not doubt the ability of civil courts to try terrorism suspects. Attorney Eric Holder announced last week the decision to prosecute Mohammed in a federal court in Manhattan and four other inmates in the naval prison at Guantanamo.

Holder tried to explain on wednesday the strategy of the U.S. justice before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where lawmakers questioned him about his decision last week to try alleged terrorists in New York.

Asked what will happen if the suspects are acquitted, Holder replied that "failure is not an alternative. This is where we must win. Do not think we have a ruling against it."

Opponents of the decision of Holder-mostly Republicans have argued that Muhammad's trial will provide a world stage to explain vitriolic rhetoric.

According to Holder, such fears are wrong, because judges can control the behavior of the accused and the rhetoric of Mohammed.

"I am quite sure that the nation and the world will see it as the coward he is," Holder said the senators. "I'm not afraid of what Khalid Sheik MohammedKhalid Sheik MohammedKhalid Sheik MohammedKhalid Sheik MohammedKhalid Sheik MohammedKhalid Sheik Mohammed can say at trial, and no one should fear him."

The only influence that the judges, or any judge in any kind of case at hand, should consider is the law.
