what else can holder do? congress cut off any funding for prosecution in the u.s. federal courts. that leaves only three options: (a) let KSM go, (b) try him in a gitmo court, or (c) wait hoping that congress later passes new legislation allowing funding for a federal trial, effectively holding KSM indefinitely until that happens. (b) might very well be the least-bad choice.
Can civil rights be held hostage to funding? Is that really what this comes down to?
