Flash: majority think KSM should be tried by military tribunal.

In the first poll taken since AG Holder's announcement that KSM and 4 other Guantanamo bay terrorists will be tried in a NY City Federal court, Real Clear Politics reports that by nearly a 2 to 1 margin repondents thought that the suspects should be tried before a military tribunal as opposed to civilian court.  It's impossible to glean political affiliation from the cross tabs, but the overwhelming disagreement with the administrations position doesn't bode well for the public's perception of any show-trial circus drama that may come out of the trial.  Now the only question is, did Obama sufficiently immunize himself from any political fallout of the announcement by his overseas absence when it was announced?  Or will the public rightly realize that the buck stops in the Oval office?

Given this initial reaction, it's hard to see how that will be the case; unless, of course, AG Holder is next in line at the bus stop...
