Fox News is devoting much of their coverage today to the moving of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to a jail in New York City so that he may face a federal trial. Many on Fox News are warning that Mohammed may be set free if found innocent in court, that sensitive information may be leaked in the trial, or that Mohammed will somehow spread his ideology in prison.
In the segment below the resident moderate within Fox News, Geraldo Rivera, takes on his colleagues for what he calles inflated fears regarding Mohammed. Rivera is the only lawyer within the group of Fox News commentators below. As Rivera has put it the case against Mohammed is considered a "slam dunk" even if the evidence obtained from waterboarding is kicked out. Mohammed has allegedly made a number of confessions outside of the waterboarding process. In addition Rivera calls fears that Mohammed will spread his ideology completely "unfounded." Indeed many believe that Mohammed will be isolated from the rest of the prison population the entire time he finds himself in U.S. prisons before he eventually faces the death penalty.
