Attorney General Eric Holder on Sunday accused Democrats and Republicans in Congress of politicizing the trial of the alleged Sept. 11 mastermind, saying it "disturbs me a great deal" that their bickering has disrupted the administration's timetable for dealing with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators.
In unusually blunt language, the attorney general expressed deep frustration with the way Congress has kicked around his trial plans. Holder announced last year that he wanted to try Mohammed and four other defendants in civilian courts in New York City, but the idea generated so much bipartisan controversy that it's all but been abandoned.
Holder, speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation," suggested Congress was toying with America's safety.
"The politicization of this issue, when we're dealing with ultimate national security issues, is something that disturbs me a great deal," Holder said. "We're dealing with the deaths of 3,000 people on September the 11th. We're dealing with the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, a person who was a key part of Al Qaeda.

We understand that Eric Holder is “disturbed”.
Holder, speaking on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” suggested Congress was toying with America’s safety.
Holder is a pimp. He’s been a disaster for the Kenyan. Good.
Eric Holder is a disgrace to the office of Attorney General. His swift resignation and subsequent indictment for abusing his position of authority, dereliction of duty, refusal to uphold the Law he swore to defend, and his racist politics would only be fitting of his future. He and “The One” hate this constitution and this country.
Memo to Eric: You farted and the wind changed.
“Congress toying with America’s safety?” Oh, spare me....you are the safety issue....you and YOUR BOSS.
Congress was toying with America’s safety?...
Oh boy, this is going to get interesting. I sure hope a few of our good guys slam this azzclown.
How much longer is this presidency supposed to last?
Your blatant racism and disregard for the law disturbs me, Eric.
It looks better for us every single day.
Holder has already “Poisoned the well” vis a vis these trials unless they are held in a Military court.
Lying criminal racist POS.
I say we try Holder in Manhattan for treason.
And why doesn’t he resign his cowardly a$$...
“The attorney general claimed the administration was still reviewing its options for the appropriate forum”
When he is not attacking states and indicting the American public as “cowards” Eric is navel gazing and wringing his hands over the venue of the slam-dunk trial. Holder is dealing with this about as fast as Barry is hunting down Bin Laden.
How dare they politicize Obama’s show trial.
First, he releases all the Yemeni prisoners that his law firm happens to represent. Then he announces a NY trial for KSM. Then he purchases a prison from cash-strapped Illinois for housing the prisoner. Then he calls off the trial indefinitely because New Yorkers are pissed. And he has the gall to complain about politics?
Somebody needs to look in this POS’s closet. I’ll bet there are many, many skeletons in there.
The list, ping
