Newsweek's Isikoff and Hosenball report from the first day of the "trial" of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed:

He then declared, in a surprisingly high-pitched voice, speaking halting but clear English, "I cannot accept any attorney who is not governed by sharia [Islamic] law. I will represent myself. I will not be represented by anybody even if he is a Muslim, because he will be sworn to your American Constitution. I consider all the U.S. Constitution and laws evil. They are allowing for same-sexual marriages and many things that are very bad … Do you understand what I said?" [emphasis added]

The Republican Party will soon demand all charges be dropped so they can run him for political office.
