The announcement that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other terrorists would be tried in a civilian courtroom in New York City was made on Friday by Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder said he is confident that the court will provide a fair trial for the 9/11 conspirators and that justice will be served.

While critics of the Obama Administration’s Justice Department have focused most of their attention on Holder, many have failed to acquaint Americans with the legal background of Holder’s Deputy Attorney General, David Ogden. The man specialized as a mouthpiece for the members of the pornography industry.

A Washington, DC legal fixture, Ogden was a high-ranking official in the United States Department of Justice and the Department of Defense during the administration of President Bill Clinton. From 1998 until 1999, Ogden served as chief of staff to the United States Attorney General. Following his graduation from Harvard Law School, he clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Harry Blackmun, one of the most liberal judges ever to sit on the bench of this nation’s highest court.
