The four include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the plot.
Journalists will be allowed to observe the proceedings but the Washington Post couldn't resist getting in a dig at the administration:
But the victims of the alleged terrorists' handiwork, and their relatives, will be notably absent from the proceedings today; they were given no option to view or attend .
"That was a mistake," Hartmann said. "We'll make sure that doesn't happen again."
Also glaringly absent from the courtroom will be Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda's fugitive leader, who is mentioned 18 times in the 23-page conspiracy charge sheets but has evaded global efforts to capture or kill him.
Subtext - Despite what you have been reading elsewhere the War on Terror is a failure. We still haven't captured bin Laden.
