Karen Greenberg was quoted by The Guardian on allegations a judge conspired with prosecutors to destroy evidence in the case of alleged architect of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Karen Greenberg, the director of Fordham University Law School’s Center on National Security, said the allegation of collusion to destroy evidence could prove to be a tipping point for the military tribunals more broadly.
“This may well be the straw that breaks the camel’s back in underscoring the unviability of the military commissions,” Greenberg said.
“Remember, a main reason they couldn’t have this [trial]in federal court was that it would have been such a circus. And now you have a full-blown circus, with judicial and every other kind of misstepping.”
