Susan Hirsch, professor at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, calls for a fair trial for Ahmad Ghailani, an alleged participant in the 1998 Tanzania embassy bombing where Hirsch lost her husband. Ghailani has been held in secret CIA custody and is now a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay where he will be tried by a military commission. Hirsch is the author of "In the Moment of Greatest Calamity: Terrorism, Grief and a Victim's Quest for Justice," a personal account of her experiences during the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing in Tanzania, the loss of her husband as a victim of the attack and the subsequent trial of four defendants.
