The decision to try five of the alleged masterminds of the Sept. 11 attacks in our civilian courts is alarming.

Christopher Dodd's falling fortunes have inspired five Republicans to run for the U.S. Senate. The potent whiff of a teetering incumbent stirs unexpected ambition in others.... Read More

With polls showing Democratic U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd extremely vulnerable as he seeks election to a sixth term next year, the Republican nomination to challenge him is for once worth something. So there are five candidates, each with the ability to get noticed. Whether each should be taken seriously is something else.
The leader by far is eastern Connecticut's former U.S. representative, Rob Simmons of Stonington, who in terms of experience may be as qualified for the Senate as anyone in the country -- Vietnam veteran with two Bronze Stars, CIA officer, Senate committee staff director, state representative for 10 years, U.S. representative for six years, and state government's business advocate. He is well known throughout the state.

That’s the amount of money that Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, says she’s prepared to spend — and out of her own pocket no less — in order to win the Senate seat now held by U.S. Sen.
