Which side are you on?

Instapundit links to IraqPundit (sigh), who says like this:
Will [Khalid Sheik Mohamed] beat the Americans at their own game? This is what Iraqis are asking about the case of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. It’s hard to say how many are paying close attention, but some Iraqis are watching the developments. The most common answer I’m hearing is that yes, KSM will win.
Ah, so that’s how you get onto the front page of the biggest right of center blog these days: Anonymously quote anonymous foreigners of no particular (known) credentials to the effect that something will go badly — very badly — for the United States in foreign policy.
Not hoping that it happens that way, mind you. Not at all.
Well, I will say this much. If the Obama Administration really wants to make political points, they will do so by making their tactic pay off big for American interests, because the knee-jerk right has certainly set the stage and indeed leaked the script (i.e., that it is the Bush Administration that is being put on trial here, with a war criminal as proxy for the American left) for a disastrous finale.
Which outcome should Americans hope for, again? Which “side” are we on?
