"I consider all American laws under the Constitution to be evil and not of God."

Khalid Sheik Mohammed, on trial, looking like this now:

He particularly took issue with a society that allows "same-sexual marriage" and other things that "are very bad." He said he could not accept a U.S. lawyer because the nation is "still in Iraq and Afghanistan and waging their crusade."...

[W]hile Mohammed has asked for the death penalty so he could become a martyr, he seemed content to stir things up on his first day in court. He sat smugly at the defense table after the others declared that they wanted to represent themselves, taking a legal approach to which they are entitled but one that could turn Guantanamo's highest-profile military commission into a circus.

So, you could tell from the look on his face that he's delighted by the prospect of a courtroom circus ? that there is some fun yet to be had in his pre-martyrdom life?
